My question involves business law in the state of: MA
We are thinking about startup a business to do some engineering research to create some new products in part time base first. We will spend some money to buy necessary materials and devices. So LLC may be good for us to go because we can claim some cost in our tax return.
But we expect to get VC after about two years hard working. Then we may need to convert to C-corp. We cannot go S-corp because we have a Canadian guy here.
My questions are:
1. is LLC a good start point?
2. how hard to convert LLC to C-corp later? if we ask help from a CPA and a lawer then, the roughly cost range will be thousands or tens of thousands?
thanks,
