Our tool begins with a dynamic, multi-step questionnaire designed to feel more like a guided conversation than a traditional form.
Each question adapts in real-time based on your previous answers, thanks to our built-in decision-tree logic.
This ensures that you’re only shown questions relevant to your unique situation—saving time and avoiding being overwhelmed.
The questionnaire dives into critical business structure criteria such as:
- Your personal liability tolerance
- Taxation preferences (e.g., pass-through vs. corporate tax)
- Number of business owners or shareholders
- Fundraising plans (e.g., venture capital, bootstrapping)
- Operational control and management style
- Long-term goals (e.g., local business vs. national expansion)
Whether you’re launching your first freelance gig or a fast-scaling startup, the experience is smooth, intuitive, and informative.
Personalized Entity Recommendation
Once you’ve completed the assessment, you’ll receive a tailored recommendation for the business structure that best suits your needs.
This could be an LLC, S-Corporation, C-Corporation, Sole Proprietorship, General Partnership, LTD, or PLC—depending on your region and answers.
Your result comes with:
- A clear explanation of why this structure is the best fit
- Key benefits and trade-offs based on your preferences
- A visual “Fit Score” to help you evaluate other options, too
- Suggested next steps (e.g., filing, EIN registration, compliance)
This isn’t a generic result—it’s a precise match built from your unique inputs.
Downloadable & Shareable Results
Your final recommendation isn’t just a summary—it’s a professionally designed PDF report you can download instantly. This report includes:
- Your personalized recommendation with rationale
- Entity comparison table
- Quick-start checklist for formation
- Bonus resources (like links to IRS, Secretary of State sites, etc.)
You can also generate a shareable link to:
- Discuss with a co-founder or investor
- Bring to your accountant or attorney
- Save for future reference
Your progress and results, always at your fingertips.
Reassessment & Save Progress
