REGISTRATIONS
- Sole Proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business that has just one owner who pays personal income tax on profits earned from the business. A sole proprietorship is the most common easiest structure to establish, however, the proprietor is personally liable for all functions and debts of the business.
- Partnership: There are many different types of partnerships. Generally, in a partnership, all partners share liabilities and profits equally, however, sometimes partners have limited liability. Contractual partner agreements govern the sharing of revenues and expenses. It is important to structure your partnership appropriately.
- Incorporation: Incorporating is the resulting legal entity that separates the firm’s assets and income from its owners and investors. The owners of a corporation have limited liabilities.
Overall, there are many different advantages and disadvantages of each business structure. As a business owner, it is important to do your due diligence when deciding how to structure your business.
