Compare state or entity-type options
compare_formation_optionsRead-only
Returns fixed, factual tradeoffs for deciding WHERE to form (topic "state": the home state versus Wyoming, Delaware, and Nevada, including the cost of foreign-qualifying back into the home state) or WHAT entity type to use (topic "entity_type": LLC versus the S-corp tax election versus C-corp), plus a required disclaimer. Deliberately not a recommendation: the options are meant to be presented neutrally with the disclaimer, leaving the choice to the user. Use when the user asks which state to form in, whether to form out of state, or which entity type suits their business.
