Farmer's Guide to Business Structures

In this comprehensive guide, learn all about the business entity options available to farmers: Sole proprietorships/Partnerships, LLC's, C Corporations, S Corporations, Nonprofits, and Co-ops. Through a mix of checklists, flowcharts, sample organizational documents and more, farmers will be able to break down their options and choose a business entity that is best suited for their unique farm operation. The guide also explores complex issues like anti-corporate farming laws, running multiple entities, and going into business with other farmers. This guide is 320 pages and 11MB in file size.

For those that prefer a physical book, copies are available from SARE, the entity that also funded its production. (This resource used to be titled "Farmers' Guide to Choosing a Business Entity." Updated in July 2018 to correct formatting and editing issues.)
