In Liberia, company incorporation is governed by the Business Corporation Act, which provides for several types of business structures to suit different entrepreneurial needs. The most common types of company incorporation include:

1. Corporation (Inc.): This is the most popular form of company registration in Liberia, offering limited liability protection to shareholders. A corporation is a separate legal entity, allowing it to own assets, incur liabilities, and enter into contracts. It requires the filing of Articles of Incorporation with the Liberia Business Registry (LBR) and the appointment of directors and officers.

2. Limited Liability Company (LLC): An LLC combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability of a corporation. It is governed by an Operating Agreement and requires the submission of Articles of Organization to the LBR. LLCs are ideal for small to medium-sized businesses.

3. Partnership: Partnerships can be either General Partnerships (GP) or Limited Partnerships (LP). In a GP, all partners share liability and management responsibilities, while in an LP, there are both general partners (with unlimited liability) and limited partners (with
liability restricted to their investment). A Partnership Agreement is required.

4. Sole Proprietorship: This is the simplest form of business, owned and operated by a single individual. It does not require formal incorporation but offers no liability protection.

5. Branch Office: Foreign companies can establish a branch office in Liberia by registering with the LBR and submitting the necessary documents, including the parent company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Each type of incorporation has specific requirements and benefits, catering to different business goals and operational scales in Liberia.
