11 Types of Business Structures: Which One’s The Best Fit?
March 5, 2022
March 5, 2022
Are you starting a new business and wondering what type of business structure to create? We’ll cover 11 types of businesses that you can form based on your business need..
When starting a business, there are so many types of businesses to consider that it can be difficult to choose the right structure for you. There are at least 11 different business structures available today and we expect the possibilities will grow in the future.
We’ll help you understand what you should consider before you choose the type of legal structure of a business. Then we’ll discuss the different kinds of business entities and when each works best.
After we’ve given you all the information you need to choose your company structure, we’ll hook you up with one of our business partners to help you begin your business ownership.
Let’s look at how to choose which type of business structure will work for your business.
There are six questions to consider before you decide what type of business structure to choose:
Let’s look at each of these questions to help you understand how each of these plays into choosing the right business structure.
There are business structures that help separate your business and personal finances and the liability that occurs if an employee gets hurt or a customer files a lawsuit.
If you can justify the additional costs, time spent submitting documents to government agencies, and processes to keep your business and personal finances separate, you should. But many of the business owners we interview on our YouTube channel tell people it’s better to get started than wait until you can do it perfectly.
In this interview, Notto Jensen tells us that his improvising became his greatest strength because he couldn’t afford overhead.
Every type of business entity, except for a sole proprietorship and a business partnership, can separate personal liability and assets from the business liability and assets as long as you use separate bank accounts for the business owned.
When considering what type of business entity to create, there are some questions you need to ask yourself about the tax treatment:
If so, you might want to consider a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) or Low-Profit Limited Liability Company (L3C).
If yes, you should not consider a C-Corporation (C-Corp) or NPO. All others can be structured to allow pass-through income. All but general partnerships and sole proprietorships can be formed in ways that may allow separate business tax returns.
All but a sole proprietor or general partnership have some tax benefits that might outweigh the double taxation that can occur in other kinds of businesses.
C-Corps follow subsection C, while S-Corporations (S-Corps) follow subsection S, and pass-through entities, like an LLC, will either be treated as a partnership or sole proprietorship, unless you file a Form 8832 to follow C-Corp laws. Co-ops are in Subsection T, which borrows from C, S, and K. Non-Profits are mostly in 501(c)(3).
I suggest you view the IRS Business Structures page for a more detailed understanding of the tax requirements for each type of business structure or talk to a tax consultant.
All types of businesses will allow for a single owner except for the different types of business partnerships, which have to be two or more people. An S-Corp has a limit of 100 owners, as do Benefit Corps (B Corps) and Co-Ops that are structured under S-Corp tax laws.
If you plan on hiring employees, you’ll either want to do an LLC, LLP, corporation, NPO, or Co-Op. Do not hire people using a sole proprietorship or general partnerships as you have no legal protection if something goes wrong.
In Co-Ops, the employees may be the owners. Profit is divided by rules that require distribution based on how much each person uses the co-op as opposed to how much they invested. If you conduct business in this manner to make the investment returns fair, each employee’s investment needs to be equal to the work they put into the business.
If you are trying to make a profit, you cannot be an NPO, but you can be an L3C that may qualify for tax exemption if you are investing in it through a foundation that is tax-exempt.
You also won’t want to be a Co-Op unless each member pays 1/X of the expenses, where X = the number of members. This is because of how a co-op divides profits compared to other types of businesses.
If your company is meant to help people and make a profit, then your business operations may want to be formed under laws for Co-Ops or Benefit Corporations. These types of businesses are meant to be more profitable for the members or employees.
You’ll see this kind of business structure in credit unions and companies like Winco. Check out their video about their Employee Stock Ownership Plan below.
Now that you know about the business factors that impact the types of businesses and what business structures you can use, let’s look at the actual business types.
Sticking with a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is typically best unless:
Check out our business startup guide for more great information about starting a business.
There are 11 business types you may want to consider when starting a new business. We’ll look at the business legal structure for each of the following different business types:
Let’s start by looking at the easiest types of companies to create, sole proprietorships.
Sole proprietorships are the quickest, least expensive way of entering the world of business ownership. This type of business structure operates where the owner and the person are one legal entity, sometimes called a business entity.
A business entity is a company that is recognized as a separate legal entity from the person who owns it. This is beneficial because it separates:
The main benefit of being a sole proprietor is it is quick and easy to become a business this way. You can file income with your personal tax return. Some states even allow you to operate a sole proprietorship for free.
Unfortunately, there are some really nasty downsides to sole proprietorships including:
The Internal Revenue Code considers these small businesses under self-employment taxes which means you can:
Keep reading for information on other types of businesses including partnerships.
There are two types of partnerships , General Partnerships or Limited Partnerships. A General Partnership is when at least two people are participating in the business, while a Limited Partnership has at least one silent partner.
Both General Partnerships and Limited Partnerships have the same benefits:
Both Limited Partnerships and General Partnerships share the problems of:
Like Sole Proprietors, these types of businesses are not recommended because of the lack of liability protection against a business’s debts.
The next type of partnership is far better when considering different types of businesses.
Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are similar to other Partnerships but come with protection against liability for others’ actions.
The benefits include:
The issues with these business entities are:
In most states, you will need a formal operating agreement and to register with the Secretary of State to create an LLP. You can find information for starting a business in your state at USA.gov.
Keep reading for information on Limited Liability Companies.
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a company that provides separation of business and personal assets and liability while allowing pass-through income. People will almost always tell you to start an LLC if you ask “What type of business should I register as?” Most of the time they are right.
The reasons everyone loves LLCs are:
The main drawbacks are:
You’ll need an operating agreement and articles of organization, which are fairly easy. You can create a separate business entity through our partner BetterLegal and save $30 when you create an LLC.
Keep reading for more more types of businesses that avoid unlimited liability.
A Series LLC is nearly identical to a normal LLC but with one distinguishing difference: You can have a parent LLC with multiple distinct LLCs underneath it. This is basically the same concept a conglomerate (Berkshire-Hathaway, for those unfamiliar) uses, but much less costly.
A series LLC is commonly used by:
The benefits of a Series LLC over a normal LLC include:
The drawbacks are:
I’ve provided the links for some of the states. You can find your state by searching “register a Series LLC in (insert state).”
A C-Corporation is a business formed and taxed under Subsection C of the U.S. tax code. Before the 1990s, C-Corporations accounted for the vast majority of the revenue in the U.S. Now they make up less than 50%.
A C-Corp has the following benefits:
That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have downsides too.
A C-Corp includes many business challenges that other types of businesses do not, including:
C-Corps are the most common type of corporation, but let’s look at the S-Corp next.
An S-Corporation is a cross between an LLC and a corporation. In fact either can file to pay taxes as an S-Corp. The main differences between an S-Corp and C-Corp are:
You can run an LLC or a Corporation as an S-Corp. Learn more about the differences in the two structures in our blog LLC vs. S-Corp or go to the IRS S-Corporations page to learn more learn more about forming an S-Corporation.
The other types of businesses we are about to discuss are less common business structure, but might make sense for unique business needs.. Keep reading to learn about Non-Profit Corporations.
Non-profit organizations are types of businesses that work for the better good of the community. They are typically in the medical field, free or low-cost legal services, churches, or other social services.
The benefits of these types of businesses include:
NPOs are not always the best business structure even though they are tax exempt. These types of businesses are more complicated because:
Unless you are specifically looking at types of businesses that are serving the greater good and don’t want to make a profit, an NPO probably isn’t the best option for a small business.
When wondering, “What type of business should I start,” consider a benefit corporation if how you impact your community is important to you. This type of corporation is an addendum to an S-Corp or C-Corp. Follow the four steps below:
Remember to follow your state’s requirements to create a B-Corporation, and to learn more go to BenefitCorp.net.
L3Cs are used in nine states when an organization is focused on the greater good, but they may also earn a profit. These companies normally do not qualify for Non-Profit status, but they might be able to if all owners are Non-Profits and the business is within their core functions. If it doesn’t, then it will have taxable earnings.
These are primarily used by the Bill Gates Foundation and newspapers for projects that could turn a profit but don’t and rely on contributions to keep them going.
Use this option with caution because of the uncertainty in the tax treatment. I’d suggest going with a more established form of business, but you can learn more about L3C usage on UpCounsel.
A Co-Op is a group of people or businesses working together to achieve a goal. Co-Ops fall under Subchapters C, K, S, and/or T of the tax code depending on what legal structures they follow. The key difference between Co-Ops and other businesses is distributions are by usage, not investment.
The primary industries that use Co-Ops are agricultural, healthcare-related, community-funded energy projects, and employee-owned companies. You’ll definitely need a lawyer to establish the best strategy for Co-Ops, but check out Co-opLaw.org to learn more about how co-ops work.
I’d personally love to see more Co-Ops, but there needs to be a balance where employees get 33% of the profits, investors get 33% of the profits, and founders get 34% of the profits. I think this would truly be a great way of running a company for everyone involved.
