Question

A small business owner has decided to form a ______________ after deciding that she wants to maximize revenue, minimize taxes, give back to the community, and exercise total control over her business.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sole proprietorship

Explanation:

If you want to minimize taxes and avoid double or even triple taxation, your options are a sole proprietorship, a partnership (general or limited liability) or a limited liability company. The IRS considers them pass through entities, so they are not taxed directly, you are.

But if you want to exercise total control over your business, the options narrow down to only a sole proprietorship because all the others involve other people being co-owners of the business.
