LLC Formation, Incorporation and Business Start-Up
Entity selection may be the most important decision in starting a business. Our business law attorneys are versed in the pros and cons of forming as a limited liability company (LLC) or as a corporation. For the vast majority of our clients, an LLC is the optimal choice.
Most small businesses are formed by a husband and wife, friends, or business associates who desire to shelter their personal residence, savings and other assets from liabilities incurred in running and operating a business. If properly formed, operated and capitalized, either an LLC or corporation will protect the owners' personal assets from most creditors and claims.
A limited liability company offers advantages over a corporation in its simplicity of organization, greater flexibility in management, and greater flexibility in distribution of profits, losses, surplus and capital. An LLC is also more amenable to creative tax planning and transfers of an ownership stake.
From our strong connections in construction and development, we commonly form LLCs for contractors and subcontractors, or help developers and investors place real estate transactions in an LLC to limit personal exposure. We also shepherd homeowner associations and non-profit organizations through the process of corporate formation, and welcome entrepreneurs or reorganizing businesses in any industry.
