SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders choosing between an LLC, S-corp, C-corp, or sole proprietorship face confusing liability, tax, and financing trade-offs, and often walk into attorney and CPA meetings unprepared. This Skill produces a neutral, informational comparison so founders arrive informed without receiving unauthorized legal or tax advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Dimension Comparison: Evaluates sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S-corp, and C-corp across liability shield, tax treatment, formalities, and financing fit. - Situation-Based Shortlist: Applies triage heuristics (owner count, liability exposure, profitability, fundraising intent, multistate operations) to shortlist 1-2 structures worth discussing with professionals. - Professional Meeting Preparation: Generates framed question lists for attorneys and CPAs, plus downstream trigger flags for employment compliance, written agreements, and multistate registration. - Use Case: A sole proprietor bringing on a co-founder and planning to raise capital receives a comparison of LLC versus C-corporation, a list of questions about vesting and conversion costs, and an explicit instruction to confirm with an attorney and CPA. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to compare LLC versus S-corp versus C-corp for your situation and prepare questions for your attorney and CPA meeting.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between an LLC and an S-corp for my business?▼

Compare them on liability shield, tax treatment, formalities, and financing fit. An LLC offers flexible pass-through taxation with light formalities, while an S-corp election may reduce self-employment tax for profitable owner-operators taking a salary. Confirm the choice with an attorney and CPA.

What business entity should I form before raising venture capital?▼

Investors typically expect a C-corporation, often formed in a VC-friendly state, because it supports multiple share classes and stock options. Converting from an LLC later carries cost, so discuss timing and state selection with an attorney and CPA before deciding.

Does this skill provide legal or tax advice on entity selection?▼

No. It produces an informational comparison and question lists only, with a mandatory disclaimer on every output. Entity formation, tax elections, and agreement drafting are always routed to a licensed attorney and CPA.

When should a sole proprietor consider forming an LLC?▼

Consider an LLC once there is meaningful liability exposure such as physical products, client premises, employees, or signed contracts, or once revenue grows. A sole proprietorship may suffice for solo, low-liability idea testing.

What happens when I add a co-founder to my business?▼

Multi-owner businesses should never operate on a handshake. The skill flags that a written operating, partnership, or shareholder agreement covering ownership percentage, decision rights, and buy-sell terms must be drafted by an attorney.

Can this skill calculate my tax savings from an S-corp election?▼

No. It never computes tax savings or presents dollar figures as advice, since those depend on jurisdiction and current-year rules. Tax quantification is explicitly handed to a CPA, with concepts described only qualitatively.
