Business structure question

by a searcher from Arizona State University - W. P. Carey School of Business

We are trying to think through the implications (mostly tax) of different business structures (LLC, S Corp, C Corp and so on). Are there any good resources out there that you would recommend to help us think through the pro/con of each?

The easy answer is listen to Matt (a real tax expert) and hire him, but the party line seems to be form an LLC, then buy the assets of the entity. Based on your investors and the target, you may need to restructure, but I see LLCs all over the place. (PS I know Matt, as we were on an M&A panel together in###-###-#### a smart guy)
