The Importance of a Strong Legal Foundation
Building a business without a solid legal structure is like constructing a house without a blueprint.

Choosing the Right Legal Entity for Your Business
Selecting the best legal structure is a critical decision with lasting implications for taxes, liability, and operational flexibility. Below is an overview of the most common business structures we’ll help you evaluate:
- Sole Proprietorship: Ideal for solo entrepreneurs seeking simplicity. Offers full control but comes with personal liability.
- General Partnership (GP): Suitable for small teams sharing control and responsibility. Easy to form but lacks liability protection.
- Limited Partnership (LP): Perfect for ventures requiring silent investors. General partners assume full liability, while limited partners’ risks are minimized.
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): Designed for licensed professionals. Provides liability protection but may have restrictions.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC): Popular among small-to-mid-sized businesses for its tax flexibility and liability protection.
- S Corporation: Combines pass-through taxation with shareholder liability protection but requires adherence to strict eligibility criteria.
- C Corporation: Best for businesses seeking significant investment or planning to go public, though it involves double taxation.
We’ll work closely with you to identify the structure that best fits your goals and operational needs.
