Startups: What is the best business structure for a tech company?
JB
JB
Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

The best business structure for a tech company are as follows:
1. Sole Proprietorship: In this business structure, one person is the sole owner. With this business structure, it is advisable to hire a good accountant to figure out what the best way is for you to reduce your taxable income. This business structure is a good option for start-ups because it is easy and inexpensive to register and the sole owner has direct control of all decisions. In a partnership business structure, two or more people combine their financial resources to put into their business. A partnership is non-incorporated, and all partners share the profits the business earns.
2. Corporation: This business structure is formed at the federal or provincial/territorial level and is a legal entity that is separate from its shareholders. Shareholders are not responsible for the company’s debts or actions. Most start-ups are not at the phase where incorporation is appropriate. Incorporation is beneficial because it has limited liability, transferable ownership, and greater tax advantages.
3. Co-operative: This type of business structure can be for-profit or not-for-profit and is owned and controlled by an association of members. Co-operatives are the least common business structure, and it is often used to provide access to common needs. However, the decision-making process is long as it is democratic, and there is extensive record keeping involved in maintaining this kind of business structure. No matter what kind of business structure you choose for your start-up, it is important to consult with a legal professional or experienced mentor beforehand to make an informed and intelligent choice. It is useful to know your goals, business plan, and your vision for your company and lay that out for those who are giving you guidance in the structuring process in order to help them help you choose the best business structure for your start-up.
