Limited Liability Company: Many individuals who are seeking to become Amazon business owners will choose LLC, as they have the limited liability of a corporation, as well as the positive tax implications and flexibility of a partnership. That being said, there are fewer restrictions to profit sharing, which may be undesirable to some.
Sole Proprietorship: If you are looking to take on all assets and liabilities of your business, as well as be the sole owner, a sole proprietorship is most likely your best option. This is a comparatively inexpensive way to form a business, and you are the sole decision-maker, meaning you will have no one to butt heads with.
Partnership: There are several different types of partnerships available, and oftentimes, this is the route that individuals who wish to start a business with one, two, or a few people will take.
C Corporations: If you already have an established company with several employees working for you, your best bet is most likely to form what is known as a C corporation, which will have limited liability, corporate tax treatment, and can generate capital.
S Corporations: S corporations are not dissimilar to C corporations, however, they are considered flow-through entities when it comes to tax treatment. However, S corporations frequently encompass tax savings, business expense tax credits, and more.
