Business Entity Options
One of the most important decisions you will have to make is also one of the first decisions: selecting your business entity form. Our business lawyers can describe the benefits and drawbacks involved in each entity choice, helping you structure your business in a way that supports your business objectives:
- Sole Proprietorship: Do you plan on owning all of the business assets?
- General Partnership (GP) or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): Are you going to share profits and losses with other people? Would you like to protect some of the partners from personal liability?
- C-Corporation and S-Corporation: Should shareholders own the business and a board of directors oversee it? How would you like business taxes to be handled?
- Limited Liability Company (LLC) and Professional Liability Company (PLC): Would you like a corporate tax structure with more control over business operations and protection from personal liability?
