What type of entity should I incorporate for my first acquisition?

by a searcher from INSEAD

Newbie question - has anyone looked into what type of entity (and which state) to incorporate for the first acquisition esp. when taking on SBA but also hoping to attract investors for future growth? Would anyone recommend any specific states esp. when everyone is working remotely?

Collecting anecdotal tips from searchers is not the best way to do it. Situations are unique. Seek competent legal counsel.

You cannot go wrong with a Delaware LLC - low cost, easy to set up and flexible.
