Choosing the right entity for your business is essential as it has financial and legal implications. Momin & Momin, CPAs can help you choose the best entity for your particular business.

Limited Liability Corporation (LLC)
LLC is considered one of the least complex legal entity. LLC’s structure is flexible compared to an S Corp or C Corp. It provides the business with limited liability and legal protection for their personal assets in a bankruptcy situation. It also provides businesses with the advantage of pass-through taxes.

- No such requirement of the owner being a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Owners have limited liability for business debts and obligations

Partnership
Partnership requires two or more people willing to part take in running business together and share in profits and losses. One partner assumes responsibility of general partner while the others are limited partners.

- Easy to establish
- Higher ability to raise funds
- Improved management with more than one owner
Sole Proprietorship

- Owner receives all profits
- Sole proprietor is personally liable for the debts of business
- Report all business profits as personal income and pay self-employment tax on those profits
- Few documents required at start up
- Owner pays only personal income taxes on the profits
