Comparison of Business Structures
Let us help you understand the different business structures and taxes that there are. Let’s delve into it:

This structure is the simplest and most common. The business is not separate from the owner, and the owner is personally liable for debts and obligations. However, it offers minimal regulatory requirements and allows for direct control over the business.
Partnership
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
S Corporation
C Corporation
