Massachusetts Limited Liability Company (LLC): This type of business entity combines elements of a corporation and a partnership. It offers limited liability protection to its owners, known as members, and is governed by the Massachusetts Limited Liability Company Act. 2. Massachusetts Corporation: A corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owners. It can be formed for-profit or nonprofit purposes and is governed by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act. Corporations offer limited liability protection to their shareholders and have a more complex structure compared to other entities. 3.

There are different types of partnerships, including general partnerships (GP's) and limited partnerships (LPs), each with their own set of rules and regulations. 4.
