One of the most exciting parts of owning a business is paying your own hard work. And yet, some business owners don't pay themselves or rely on inconsistent income to avoid owing taxes. But the right way to pay yourself from your business depends on the type of entity structure you use to establish your company. That's why entrepreneurs are advised to structure their business as an LLC. In this way, you can protect yourself from debts and lawsuits related to your company and save on taxes.
