Business Organization Formation

As part of our corporate law practice, we advise clients during the crucial phase of business formation and discuss the issues that will play a role in entity selection. Typical questions we will examine include:

• What type of business is it?
• What liabilities are involved?
• Are you planning on having a tax advisor or accountant?
• Do you have a location, or will you need to acquire property?
• Have you investigated leasing options?
• How many owners or managers will be in the company?

As we discuss these issues with you, we can determine the best type of legal entity for your business to form and operate under, whether this proves to be a limited liability corporation (LLC), a "C" or "S" corporation, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a non-profit organization, or another type of business venture. Our firm can also advise you on the tax planning strategies that will best complement your choice of business entity.
