If you are starting a business, one of the first steps is to decide the type of business you should register. Usually, a startup business is registered as a sole proprietorship or corporation if you are the only owner. It there are multiple owners, then you may register your business as a partnership or a corporation. If the aim of forming a company is not to make financial gains to the owners, then a not-for-profit company is the correct choice.
