FOR-PROFIT
You want institutional investors.
Eventually you want to sell or go public.
Equity pool for employees.
Preferred options for critical staff.
You are seeking profits and/or growth.

EXAMPLES:
FOR-PROFIT
Sole-Proprietorship (no employees)
LLC (choose taxation)
S-CORP (flow-through)
C-CORP (taxed separately from owners)

EXAMPLES:
FOR-PROFIT
If you’re a start-up seeking venture capital, you’ll almost certainly need to
convert to a C Corp but it’s not necessary to transition prior to receiving
funding. The conversion costs are usually covered by the investor
(deducted from the amount invested).
!

Many Startup Accelerators and Angel investors are experienced at
helping startups become ‘investible’.
NON-PROFIT
You have an important cause, but no [important] money.
You like a lot of paper work.
!

You are seeking grant, foundation, or donor support.
!

Being a non-profit does not mean instant poverty.
EXAMPLES:
NOT-FOR-PROFIT
The IRS explains that ‘not-for-profit’ refers to organizations supporting
activities, for example, hobbies (like fishing or comic collecting).
!

In contrast, "nonprofit" refers to an organization established for purposes
other than profit-making. Non-profit and not-for-profit do not necessarily
mean "charitable."
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
You want it all!
!

You want to do good & make money.
You want to become an expert at creative accounting!
!

Legal framework and related policies are rapidly evolving.
EXAMPLES:
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
LLC (choice of taxation model)

L3C (can accept Investor or Foundation funding, charitable first, taxed like LLC)
B-Corp (taxed like an S or C Corp with public responsibility)
Hybrid model
Partnership
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
From the point of view of IRS, the benefit corporation and L3C are no
different from traditional for-profit entities.
HYBRID MODELS
Brother-Sister Relationship
For-Profit Subsidiary
Shared Management

EXAMPLES:
PARTNERSHIPS
Fiscal Agent
Joint-Venture Agreement
Corporate Sponsorship
B Corp
L3C
