"Startup is hard, lean is harder"

Business structure

There are several types of company or business structures, including:


S Corporation (S Corp): Combines limited liability of a corporation with pass-through taxation, offering tax benefits for small business owners.

C Corporation (C Corp): Common type of corporation, offering flexibility in ownership and tax advantages like the ability to deduct employee benefits.

Limited Liability Company (LLC): Shields owners from personal liability, offers management flexibility, and provides pass-through taxation, making it an easier option to operate compared to a corporation.


The distinctions among them are based on the nature of the partnership, tax considerations, property ownership, and more.
