So you’ve got a brilliant idea that you want to turn into a business. You want to save every penny possible as you get things going, so you file the papers to create your own business entity. It’s pretty simple, after all. You find some forms online, fill them out, and you you should be in business in no time flat.
Not so fast!
With more than half-a-million new businesses starting in the United States each year, there are bound to be some mistakes. And among the biggest are errors related to new business entity and license filing.
When it comes to starting a new business, you’re not dealing with a one size fits all situation.
Each type of business entity has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you decide to go into business for yourself, you’ll probably choose a sole proprietorship. All it takes is an application for a special Tax ID number and you’re good to go.
But did you know that, by selecting this type of business entity, you’ll be opening up yourself to potential tax and legal liabilities?
Or what if you choose to register as a corporation? Are you prepared to be compliant with the required record-keeping and filing obligations? Not only is there a lot of extra paperwork with a corporate entity, it can also be quite costly.
When deciding what type of business entity to form, you’ll want to evaluate several criteria.
Legal liability: Do you, as the owner, need to be insulated from the legal liabilities of the business? Or are you able to personally afford any potential risk your business might create for you?
Tax Implications: Depending on your individual situation and your goals as a business owner, it’s important to understand what opportunities exist for you to minimize your taxes.
Cost implications: While some entities may involve potentially higher taxes, others can come with higher formation costs and ongoing expenses. It’s a good idea to determine from the start which can serve you best in the long run.
Of course, there are many other things to consider, but these are some of the most common.
