If the nonprofit were to make money potential "profit" could just be paid out in salaries (like MLB or insurance companies) but I cant imagine this isn't much of a concern. There are a few other advantages for the nonprofit but it'd need to be a bigger venture to take advantage of them.
It really wont make that much difference either way. If it is mainly your money supporting it or you don't have a sponsor lined up I'd go non profit. I'd do a LLC/C-corp if a sponsor was lined up or I wanted to put the least amount of money into it.
Anyone in agreement here? LLC sounds simpler and less start up cost, and sponsors won't care either way?
