Business structures sometimes confuse new business owners, including nurse practitioners. Here are some considerations and things to avoid.
There are multiple business structures one can choose from, depending on your state and their requirements. In this episode of the podcast and video, I give an overview on the following, plus tell you which of them I suggest you avoid:
- Sole proprotior
- General and Limited Partnernships
- LLCs
- S corporation
- Non-profits
I’ll talk about this more in our upcoming workshop, where we will go more into depth on this and other topics for the NPs starting their own practice.
