I would look at the LLC and tax it as a partnership or S corporation depending on how its set up.

Based on your business venture, I would say that a corporation would be inappropriate. Typically a corporation would be preferable if you were looking to raise capital by selling shares of the corporation. However, an LLC (limited liability company) offers similar individual protection to a corporation, but is ideal for 1 or few "shareholders", which are called "members" in an LLC.
I would recommend you consult a tax professional regarding any tax consequences or advantages you may be able to obtain with your new business venture. I can recommend someone should you need further advice. All the best, Mark J. Rose Roig, Tutan, Rosenberg & Zlotnick, P.A. mrose@roiglawyers.com 1 person marked this answer as good
