Types of Business Structures

There are several different ways you can structure your business. Some legal options available to you include a limited liability company (LLC), S Corporation, C Corporation, or a Partnership. Each type of business structure has advantages and disadvantages.

• LLCs are a popular choice for small businesses. They provide flexibility as well as asset protection, and you can choose to have the company taxed as either a corporation or partnership.
• S Corporations allow business owners to avoid double taxation on their profits; however, they cannot be publicly traded and can only issue one class of stock.
• C corporations are typically used by large companies that need greater financial stability and have or require large amounts of capital.
• Partnerships may be the right choice for your business if you are looking to share profits and losses with someone else or need a tax break.

There are many complex legal decisions that need to be made in order to make the best determination regarding the type of business structure for your company. Visiting with an experienced business attorney can help you make the right decision for your new business venture.

Tax Considerations

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has special considerations when it comes to taxes, so make sure you know what is best for your situation before deciding how to proceed. For example:

• S corporations’ dividends distributed to owners are not subject to self-employment tax (unlike distributions to owners of LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships).
• The IRS does not hold C corporation profits as a taxable dividend for the shareholders unless they receive them in cash form or property other than stock.
• The IRS may provide less of a tax break for the profits on an S corporation compared to those with other types of business structures (like LLCs).
• Partnerships are not taxed and have no restrictions on who can withdraw money.

If you are considering starting a business, make sure that you consider all the options before you decide how to proceed by visiting with an experienced and dedicated lawyer.

Using an Existing Entity for a Business

If you decide to use an existing entity as the vehicle for your business, it is important to make sure you are using the right type of entity for your business, whether that is an LLC or a corporation.

• An LLC offers limited liability protection for the owner as long as the action that caused the injury or damage is not performed by the owner of the company.
• A corporation, while more complex to operate, has certain beneficial features not available to an LLC.
• It is important to register or incorporate your business in the correct state.

Visiting with an experienced attorney can help you better understand all of your legal options.
