This is the starting point for any business.

We guide you through selecting and forming the right entity, ensuring everything is set up properly from the beginning.

This includes state registration, EIN setup, and initial compliance guidance.

Best for:

• New businesses or entrepreneurs just getting started.

Common Business Structures

• Sole Proprietorship

  • simplest structure

  • owner personally liable for debts

• Limited Liability Company (LLC)

  • protects personal assets

  • flexible tax options

• S-Corporation

  • pass-through taxation

  • potential self-employment tax savings

• C-Corporation

  • preferred for raising outside capital

  • double taxation may apply

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Entity

• personal liability protection

• tax treatment

• number of owners

• future investors

• administrative requirements

Choosing the right tax structure can significantly impact how much you pay in taxes.

We evaluate your business and recommend the most efficient structure based on your income, operations, and goals.

This includes analyzing S-Corp elections, partnerships, and other structures.

Best for:

• Businesses looking to reduce taxes and improve long-term efficiency.

Common Tax Classifications

• LLC taxed as:

  • Sole proprietorship

  • Partnership

  • S-Corporation

  • C-Corporation

Why Tax Elections Matter

• Choosing the right tax classification can:

  • reduce self-employment taxes

  • improve cash flow

  • simplify tax compliance

When to Evaluate Tax Elections

• business profits exceed $75K–$100K

• hiring employees

• expanding operations

For many profitable businesses, an S-Corp election can provide meaningful tax savings—but only when structured correctly.

We help determine eligibility, file the election, and guide how owner compensation should be structured.

Best for:

• Businesses generating consistent profits.

How S-Corporations Work

• Owners typically receive income through:

  • reasonable salary (subject to payroll taxes)

  • owner distributions (not subject to self-employment tax)

Benefits of S-Corporations

• potential tax savings

• pass-through taxation

• no corporate level tax

Important Considerations

• The IRS requires owners to take reasonable compensation, meaning salaries must reflect market value.

As businesses grow, a single entity may no longer be optimal.

We design multi-entity structures that separate operations, protect assets, and improve tax efficiency.

This can include holding companies, operating entities, and intercompany relationships.

Best for:

• Growing businesses with increasing complexity.

Reasons Businesses Use Multiple Entities

• liability protection

• separating business operations

• tax planning strategies

• managing multiple ventures

Common Multi-Entity Structures

• Examples include:

  • holding company + operating company

  • separate entities for different locations

  • separate real estate and operating businesses

Benefits of Multi-Entity Structures

• risk isolation

• asset protection

• improved financial organization

What worked when your business started may not work as it grows.
