Case Questions - Selecting an Entity for Your Business Venture

This Harvard Business School case facilitates the application of concepts that we have covered in the text or course lecture to a real-world situation.

When starting a business, one of the key initial legal issues is what type of entity or structure should be used for the new business?That is what we will focus on when analyzing this case.

1. Analyze the choice of entity issue, by preparing a table along the lines of the following:

LLC:

Founders:

Investors:

Finders:

Please fill in the table, so that you clearly identify the objectives for each of the stakeholders. Next, under each possible entity, identify the advantages or disadvantages in terms of accomplishing the objectives which you've identified. The above is the minimum information I would like the table to include. However, feel free to expand on it as necessary to help your analysis.
