The three partners in this endeavor are interested in providing health insurance, life insurance, and dental insurance for each owner. Required:
Explain whether there are any tax advantages of having the business provide employee benefits for owners as well as other employees. What are some options that should be considered to fairly compensate each of the owners for what they are contributing and for the work they will do running the business?
