Should I use "type" or "types" in the below sentence:
The following are the different types of trusts that are available be for your business or investment structures:
There is no one size fits all. In order to determine which trust suits you best it depends on your personal circumstances.
Hi, Tony,
@Tony C posted:Should I use "type" or "types" in the below sentence:
The following are the different types of trusts that are available be for your business or investment structures:
- Discretionary Trust
- Fixed Trust
- Unit Trust
- Hybrid Trust
The bullet points above introduce different types of trust. "Be" should be eliminated for the sentence to be grammatical.

I don't like the sentence above, because the tacit subject of "determine" (in order for you to determine), which is "you," clashes with impersonal "it." I suggest:
- Which trust suits you best depends on your personal circumstances.
or
- In order to determine which trust suits you best, you have to consider your personal circumstances.
