Choosing a business entity is so important when starting a business because it impacts dramatically on both the legal protection that the business entity affords and also on your tax consequences. So you have to have a competent attorney to assist you in making these decisions. Because if you donât, then youâre going to pay more taxes then you should and youâre not going to have the protection that you need in order to properly operate the business.
