Selection of the form of business entity is the most important decision before starting a business. A lot of aspects govern the decision such as the purpose, likely number of members, amount to be invested, scale of operation, legal requirements and tax implications.

A company is an artificial legal person created by process of law which makes it an entity separate and distinct from its members who constitute it. A company can be characterized by the fact that the ownership and management are separate.
