"In order to archive and sustain business growth you need a strong foundation".... Reginald Eskridge, Esq

 

Deciding the Business Structure That is Right for You

Determining the appropriate business structure for your new business should be based on a variety of factors. Some of these factors to consider are: who will be the owners of the business, who will manage the day to day operations, who will serve on the Board of Directors, how will the business be initially financed, what potential business liabilities will be harmful for the proposed venture, and what are the initial tax consequences for the business. Our attorneys will discuss these, as well as other considerations, with you during your initial consultation.

We will help you understand and realize what business entity structure model is right for you, because the right model can lead you to your business growth goals at a faster pace and more smoothly. Possible business structures we would need to consider include the following:

• Sole Proprietorship
• General Partnership
• Limited Liability Company (LLC)
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP / LLLP / PLLC)
• Corporation (“C” Corporation)
• Corporation (Sub Chapter “S” Corporation)
• Professional Corporation (PC)
• Nonprofit Company & Corporation
• Joint venture
• Privately Held company
• Cooperative
• Private Foundation
