The four basic forms of business organizations are sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and limited liabilities (LLC). An advantage for a sole proprietorship is there is no additional income tax, however a disadvantage is the is unlimited liability. An advantage of a partnership is that it is easy to set up, however a disadvantage is that it is not a separate legal entity. An advantage of a corporation is that it is a separate entity, and a disadvantage is that it has additional income tax. Finally, an advantage of a limited liability company is that the members have limited liability, and I do not believe that there is a disadvantage to this form if business organization.
