The choice of business entity is a fundamental decision in the launch of a start-up venture. The limited liability form (LLC) may be ideal for a company that is to be closely managed by the owners. Start-up companies may opt for a corporation as the business entity. The choice of business entity should be made in consultation with the tax professional for the business as well as the attorney for the business since the choice of an entity designation can trigger certain tax filing deadlines and the choice figures prominently in the rights and responsibilities of each owner.
