Your Company’s Structure Matters

Establishing a California business entity presents owners with a wide array of options to choose from. Each type comes with its own perks and responsibilities that only you can decide are right for you. Understanding the differences between business entities is sometimes not always as clear as it should be.

Your choice of entity and tax treatment is driven by your long-term business plans, whether you need growth financing, and your intended exit (retirement, sale to a strategic buyer, or going public through in initial public offering). If this is a family business, then an LLC is probably the best choice. If this is a high-growth tech startup, then a Delaware C corporation is likely the right choice.

Beginning with the end in mind and understanding the pros and cons of different entities will help minimize your tax burden on a sale, maximize asset protection strategies, and avoid the costs of changing your entity down the road.
