How The Right Business Entity Protects Assets & Reduces Liability
Choosing the right business entity is one of the more important choices you will make when starting a business. There are a few different options and each option changes how you pay taxes and who is liable. It also influences who can own a company and how the business is managed. For instance, there is no formal way to structure management in an LLC, but S-Corps and C-Corps are run by a board and officers.
When it comes to taxes and liability, if you choose the wrong business type, you could end up paying a significant tax bill and forfeiting your personal assets to keep the business afloat. But with the right business lawyer on your side, you can avoid these costly mistakes and choose the best entity from the beginning. If you are in the beginning of forming your business or you are finding that your business entity is not working for you, reach out to our lawyers and we will help you navigate the next steps towards making decisions that fit your company.
