Editorial Review of Surprisingly Simple: LLC vs. S-Corp vs. C-Corp Explained in 100 Pages or Less
The "LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp" question is one of essential importance:
Make the right decision, and you'll be paying less tax; you'll know your personal assets are protected from lawsuits against your business; and you might even save yourself some money on accounting and legal fees.
Make the wrong decision, and you'll be throwing away money to Uncle Sam; you'll be wasting money on legal bills; and you'll be only a lawsuit away from losing your home and other personal assets.

Make the wrong decision, and you'll be throwing away money to Uncle Sam; you'll be wasting money on legal bills; and you'll be only a lawsuit away from losing your home and other personal assets.
Find the following, explained in plain-English with no legal jargon:
The basics of sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp taxation.
How to protect your personal assets from lawsuits against your business.
When the protection offered by an LLC will work. (And more importantly, when it will not!)

Which structures can reduce your chances of getting audited.
Why LLCs are so popular recently (and why-perhaps-they shouldn't be).

Customer Rating: 




Review Summary: Easy read covering the big picture
Review: I'm looking to form a business with some investors, and I know very little about doing so. After reading the book, I decided to form a partnership that may grow into a corporation one day. The book is an easy read and is accurately described by the title. It is well organized and concisely explains the different business forms in terms of: a general overview, taxation, and legal considerations.
Customer Rating:




Review Summary: A simple, yet thorough, examination
Review: It's tough to find a decent, simple, easy-to-follow examination of the differences between an LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp. When my accountant started telling me about this stuff, my head nearly imploded. Further research on making the right choice wasn't helpful at all. In fact, in some cases, it only made things worse. But this book was as illuminating as the big, shiny lightbulb on its cover. I even uncovered a key item that my accountant had forgotten to mention. Can't recommend this book enough.
Customer Rating:




Review Summary: Wonderful primer on the subject
Review: This is an outstanding introductory book that can be read in an evening or two. The material is written clearly and would be easily accessible to virtually anyone. No prior knowledge of the subject is required. This book completely demystifies the subject of sole-proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations and provides a good foundation for further study.

Review Summary: A basic overview - just what I needed
Review: Mr. Piper's book provides an excellent introduction to the major ways a business can legally organize in the United States. I acquired this book to prepare myself to meet with my tax attorney to discuss whether and how I ought to incorporate. Based on what I learned from this book, I was able to approach my attorney with sufficient knowledge to ask him more in-depth questions that pertained to my specific situation. This saved me time and money.
The only major improvement I would make to the book is to illustrate, in table form, the key characteristics of each major incorporation structure.
I will refer to this book again in the future and do not plan to supplement it or replace it with another book of its type.
