You have an idea. You’ve decided to go for it. You’re ready to start your own business – but there are still a lot of questions need answered. What type of organizational structure fits your business? How many employees should you hire initially? Where do you get the funding if you can’t afford to start it yourself? How can you protect yourself from lawsuits filed by your customers or employees?While starting a business can be exciting, it’s also a time of high stress. But first, you have to legally organize your new company. It’s important to consider how you would like to organize your business. Under the law, you can organize your company as a sole proprietorship, partnership, a limited partnership, a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation.
