Tip: Most small businesses start an LLC, a Limited Liability Company. Formation of LLCs far outpaces any other types, such as Corporation, by a significant margin. There are certain advantages - and if you form a small company they are significant - to LLCs. First of all, LLCs are not incorporated, they are organized. Most LLC structures have a lot less tax formalities, IRS looks at them as pass-through entities. Which means you as an owner, Sole Proprietor, will be taxed directly. However, you can also choose to elect an LLC to be an S or a C Corporation.

Very commonly, all you need to get started as a small business is a Sole Proprietor, Delaware LLC, and a Federal Tax Identification Number, EIN.
