• LLC: Flexible management, pass-through taxation, less formal requirements. Ideal for small to medium businesses.
• Corporation: More formal structure, can issue stock, potential tax advantages for larger businesses. Better for businesses planning to seek venture capital or go public.

We recommend scheduling a consultation to determine which structure best fits your specific business goals and circumstances.
