We started our company!
by Jay RogersWe officially registered our company as an LLC on this day. We instantly went for an S-Corp structure (which didn't really pay off until later until the company exceeded $40k+ in revenue).
If we were to do it again, make sure that your legal, accounting, and insurance folks are all able to communicate.

Why didn't it pay off until $40k+ revenue? (Sorry, curious as a non-American!)

No problem! So when you file taxes as a LLC, and you write yourself a check for your own payroll, you pay "Self Employment Tax".
When you file as an S-Corp, the income "passes through" to the owners individually (meaning if two people own 50%, and the company profits $40,000 -- each owner's income is $20,000). This means you do not have to pay the "Self Employment Tax".
According to our accountant at the time, the tax benefits would not kick in until 40k+ revenue per year.
This is why I stick to programming. Tax laws are crazy 😀
