In this article, we covered a lot of ground in short amount of time. We explored the main considerations before choosing a business structure and some of the pros and cons of each business form. We took a look at the 4 main types of business structures, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations.
With this general overview of business structures you should now at least have a better understanding of what types of structures are available to you – from an "above the forest level." We encourage you to read the other articles on the particular business structures, and take a look at many of the other business law articles to learn more about some of the details.
