Product Description
Decide whether to form an LLC or a corporation -- the most important business decision you'll make.

Your company has grown -- now it's time to upgrade your legal structure to something that will protect you and your assets, as well as provide other benefits. In other words, your business is ready to become either a corporation or a limited liability company.

The question is, "Which one?" The answer isn't always clear -- but because your choice will affect the legal and tax status of your business, it's the most important question you'll need to answer.

LLC or Corporation? will help you make the right choice with plain-English explanations of:

  • the basics of business entities
  • how each business entity protects you from personal liability
  • profits, losses and tax treatment
  • converting from one type of business entity to another
  • what to do if you conduct business out of state

    Making the right choice will affect your bottom line in many ways -- from what you pay in taxes to your ability to seek money from investors. The book also provides conversion and formation scenarios that provide a real-world look at all the options available to you.

    The 3rd edition has been thoroughly and usefully updated with the latest resources for business owners, an expanded discussion on choosing the right form for your business and completely updated information regarding the tax status of small business entities.

    5 out of 5 stars Good Book, but I live in California   June 2, 2009

    He discusses California. It costs $800/year to maintain an LLC, plus, they apparantly tax gross income. It's hard to understand advantages of the LLC in California for a small start up. Why not just form an S corporation? Anyway, an excellent book, and, I am still studying it. I would buy it again.


    5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for anyone confronted with the title question   July 4, 2005

    22 out of 32 found this review helpful

    Attorney and business-law expert Anthony Mancuso presents LLC or Corporation? How to Choose the Right Form For Your Business, an in-depth guide to making the right choice when one's company has grown to the point where its legal structure needs to be upgraded to something that will protect one's assets and provide tax benefits. The question of "corporation or limited liability company?" isn't clear-cut, but since it will directly affect the legal and tax status of one's business, it is a crucial question indeed. LLC or Corporation? covers all aspects of this decision, including concerns of doing business out-of-state, money issues and personal liability concerns, converting a partnership or a sole proprietorship to another entity, converting an LLC to another entity, converting, dissolving or selling a corporation, and much more. Highly recommended for anyone confronted with the title question - it is much better to get all the facts and make an informed decision now than expend an excess of time and effort cleaning up after a mistaken choice later.



    5 out of 5 stars Excellent   January 13, 2009

    You must read the entire book. After reading this book I had lined up for a paid consultation with a well known small business accountant. I made sure I had my few questions worked out. He was so impressed that he waived his fee. You'll know 95% of the in's and outs in no time.

    This is not about taxes and what is a write off. This is about business formation and tax planning for that business and for transfers. Wouldn't be nice to know what would happen to an LLC that went to a C or S corp? Well it tells you mostly everything you might want to know.
