    Wanting to own a company is not like trying to land a job; yet both have that intuitive drive toward something; and agreed, in both cases you wind up with something that takes you into the future only via very different pathways. The quest for a job is for yourself – you have no supportive walls to prevent you from falling into a ditch. For ownership of a company, whereas there is no certainty of safety either, this time though the quest is for the robust objective of being there for the world; to make a difference in human life.

    Just as it needs care to land a job, it just as well requires extra careful treading to construct a lasting medical device company
    1st it needs expertise
    2nd it requires a careful observation of the operation of existing medical device design companies to be certain that our approach will assure security as the company motions into the far future. These securities – the availability of expertise and calculated approach in ownership of the design business – must be guaranteed before ownership of the business is engaged.

    Given these considerations, it is my conviction that a manufacturing company operating as an LLC will fit the bill – it will provide the needed company stability and assurances.

    LLC has the beautiful elements of a proprietorship and S-Corp but discards those aspects of the noted business models that will assure instability.

    Specifically:
    – it leaves behind the dangerous risk of having direct attacks on personal bank account and property as it
    assumes limited liability;
    – in the LLC type set up, the company doesn’t die with the owner;
    – by virtue of its organizational set up, only the flow through tax assessment can be levied on it; no
    double taxing.
    – it enjoys the corporate veil although it is not corporate
    – it can sell shares to raise money
    – owners have full control of the company
    – has the option to look for talent to help run the company as a team of managers
    – will pay dividends following healthy operations of the company

    I can see not better business model to own.
