WHAT IS THE BEST STRUCTURE FOR A SIMPLE INVESTMENT INTO A SMALL BUSINESS?

Hi all, seeking to make a small, passive investment into a friend's small business. I want to structure it as simply and fairly as possible.

Any tips? I have an LLC set up that I could invest through. Her company is an LLC as well, so she could add me a member.

Talk to a lawyer for 15 minutes - they’ll outline the best structure for you. I’ve seen personal and LLC approach for something like this depending on structure, goals, size, your tax situation, etc.

The easiest way to use an LLC. You can choose to be taxed as a partnership first, Then a C corp if your project is getting to success in a big way. This way you can take advantage of the Qualified Small Business Stocks. Book a time with me at www.hzcpas.com if you want to talk more. thank you.
