What are some of the most common types of business organizations?
The most common types of business organizations include:
- Sole Proprietorship - you are the only owner of the business.
- Partnership- which can take the form of a general partnership, limited partnership or limited liability partnership.
- Corporation - the default form of a corporation is a C Corporation (also known as Subchapter C Corporation). Smaller corporations typically file for the S Corporation (Subchapter S) tax election so they are not double taxed.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC) - a hybrid formation that provides personal liability protection similar to a corporation, with the flexibility and tax advantages of a single proprietorship or partnership.
Should I hire a business law attorney?
It's obvious that you should hire a business attorney if you're being investigated for securities fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or a customer is severely injured by one of your products or on your premises. But, there are a lot of not so obvious reasons to retain a business law attorney. For example, are you planning on forming a corporation or partnership? A business law attorney can avert a lot of legal issues that can arise with forming these types of businesses and he or she can advise you on the best business formation for your needs. A business law attorney can also help research any possible intellectual property issues and issues relating to hiring employees, tax issues and other legal matters that can arise with forming and running a business.
