ENTITY FORMATION

Let us incorporate your business.​ Especially in light of the recent overhaul to the U.S. Tax Code, understanding the benefits and pitfalls of incorporating or forming an LLC is more relevant than ever.

Therefore, you will want to use careful consideration when it comes to the selection of the entity type you use to operate your business.

The chart below will provide a brief summary of the various entity types a business owner can choose from.
