Business Entity Types

Sole Proprietorship

This type of business is owned and run by one person, who assumes responsibility for all debts. It is the simplest structure to establish but offers no personal liability protection.

Partnership

Similar to a sole proprietorship, except there are two or more individuals sharing ownership and profits while assuming shared debt responsibility. These tend to be small operations.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

There may be multiple owners of an LLC, each owning a percentage of the company. This type of business operates as its own separate entity, which grants a liability shield to its owners -- protecting their personal assets from business debts and obligations.
