Of all the decisions you make when starting a business, probably the most important one relating to taxes is the type of legal structure you select for your company. The most common forms of business are sole proprietorship, LLC, partnership, C corporation and S corporation. Not only will this decision have an impact on how much you pay in taxes, but it will affect the amount of paperwork your business is required to do, the personal liability you face and your ability to raise money.
