I've always used S-corps for my businesses. They're pretty easy to maintain and to set up. I've used <a href="http://bizfilings.com">bizfilings.com</a> (inexpensive and easy to use) and a lawyer (more expensive and kind of a pain) - I recommend <a href="http://bizfilings.com">bizfilings.com</a>. I don't know a lot about the differences between the various types of corporations, but all the people I've talked to for advice have recommended an S-corp, and all the reading I've done points to an S-corp for me. Your business may be different, though.<div>

Hi -<br>
<br>
Anyone with experience getting a startup/small business up and running? I'm trying to navigate the right tax entity - ie. sole proprietorship or LLC versus S-corp/C-corp, etc. No other employees at this point, so the latter 2 may be overkill.<br>
<br>
Is setup complicated and if so, recommended tax advisors/accountants to guide me through this?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Brian<br>
