What Are the Different Types of Business Entities for Business?
You probably have heard the terms “corporation,” “sole proprietorship,” or “limited liability corporation” thrown around before but you may not know what they mean in terms of businesses. These terms are different forms of business entities, and each of them carry a set of advantages and disadvantages, making it important to choose the right type of entity for your business. Some of the most common types of business entities for Formation in Washington are as follows:
Sole Proprietorship: This type of business is owned and run by one person, assuming responsibility for all debts. Sole proprietorships usually come in the form of a small business with few employees.
Partnership: Similar to a sole proprietorship other than there are 2 or more individuals who own some part of the business and share in profits, as well as assuming responsibility for all debts. Partnerships also tend to be small businesses with few employees.
Limited Liability Corporation(LLC): There may be multiple owners of an LLC, who each own a percentage of the company. This type of business operates as its own separate entity or “person” which grants a liability shield to its owners, which protects their personal assets and property from being seized in case the company defaults on its debts. An LLC is highly beneficial for new business owners as it gives protection for your personal assets, potential tax breaks, and credibility.
