What is the profile of the ownership group going to be?

Knowing this would help with choice of entity.

Here is an excellent ariticle from the Journal of Accountancy on the subject:

And a link to a summary decision matrix:

Good luck and hope this helps!

One major difference: LLC has a far higher incidence of being audited. Use this information after you've done your research like reading the link already provided. Here it is again:
