Structuring Your Business

The Oregon Secretary of State publishes the informative booklet, "How to Start a Business in Oregon" that contains easy-to-understand information on the different business structures and potential tax and liability implications of each, including:

• Sole proprietor
• General partnership
• Limited liability company
• Business corporation
• Non-profit corporation

For guidance in choosing the best structure for your organization, consult your attorney, your CPA, or contact the local Small Business Development Center.
