Choosing the right business structure
Your entity choice affects liability, tax, fundraising and compliance. Proprietorships and partnerships are simplest but carry unlimited liability; LLPs and companies offer limited liability, while a private limited company is best for raising equity. Trusts, societies and Section 8 companies suit non-profits. Pick the structure that matches your goals for growth, funding and risk.
