Hello all!


I am in the process of starting up my own Inspection Company. I would like some input on what type of business structure to form the company under. I have already ruled out Sole Proprietorship and Partnership. Can anyone explain the pros and cons of the various Corporation structures.

Thanks In Advance

Oscar,


Check with your state to see whether a C-corp, s-corp, or llc is better for you. If you check the NACHI board everyone has their favorite. You may have a little more paperwork to do for the s-corp, but in the long run I think you will be happier. It all comes down to taxes and liabilities.


Good Luck!!

Jay

Personally,



I really like the S-Corp Structure. I think that it is true and tried and has been testing in the Courts. LLCs are still new and I am waiting to see some real good test cases come out on them,

When I made the decision to join NACHI, I did so because I thought the membership benefits far exceeded ASHI and NAHI. What I didn’t expect was the wealth of knowledge and experience to be given and shared so freely.


Thanks-a lot. I look forward to being able to help others myself. It look like I may end up doing a few inspections before the Company itself is formed. But I don't think that is going to be a problem as long as Im Licensed by my home State.

Thanks again fellow members!!!
