Starting a business? Whether you are just getting started or have outgrown your original tax structure, there are many business entities to choose from, with pros and cons for each one. Which type is best for your business depends on what products or services you offer, how much money you earn, whether or not you own the business alone, how many employees you have, what risk or liability you are willing to absorb, and other factors.

These included Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and other CARES Act provisions to help individuals and small businesses cope in the new and challenging business environment. These all come with tax implications.
