    Limited partnership: A limited partnership is composed of general partners and limited partners. The defining characteristic of a limited partnership is that limited partners can invest capital in a business of the limited partnership and take a share in the profits without becoming personally liable for partnership debts and obligations.

    Corporation: A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners, the shareholders. It is formed by filing certain documents with the Secretary of State and taking other actions required by the Code. A corporation may have perpetual existence, meaning that it continues to exist regardless of the status of the individual shareholders.

    Limited Liability company: The Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business entity organized under state law that offers limited liability like a corporation along with the possibility of “passthrough” taxation, unless it elects corporate treatment for federal tax purposes. Therefore, an LLC is a cross between a partnership and a corporation.

    Sole proprietorship: The sole proprietorship is the simplest, least regulated and most common form of business organization. Legally and for tax purposes the individual owner is the business. The liabilities and profits are personal to the owner.
