Business Formations
Individuals starting or expanding a business face a complex legal process. New business owners must make a number of decisions that could affect the entirety of their business, including those related to business formation obtaining the most favorable tax benefits, and under what business entity to operate. Attorney van Houwelingen is experienced in helping entrepreneurs choose the most appropriate entity under which to register, including the following:
- Sole proprietorship - A business owned by one person
- Partnership - A business owned by two or more people
- Corporation - A for-profit business owned by shareholders, including C Corporation and S Corporation.
- Limited liability partnership - A partnership in which each partner is liable for his or her own acts but not those of the other partners
- Limited liability company - A company in which individual members have limited liability for the actions of the company
The importance of establishing a business correctly as a legal business entity cannot be stressed enough. Many individuals or family members start businesses which are based on mutual, unwritten agreements. Then, when an issue concerning the obligations or responsibilities of one partner arises, other partners may be liable for these actions. Relationships, both business and personal, can suffer greatly.
