How Do I Choose a Business Entity?

When starting your business, you need the proper structure to meet your needs and protect your ownership interests. There are several options available when it comes to starting small businesses in New York and picking the right one can make all the difference in how you own and operate your company. A business formation lawyer like those at our law firm can analyze your unique situation and offer advice that is catered to your needs and goals. Some common business entities our clients choose include: Limited Liability Company (LLC) – The LLC gives many owners the asset protection they need while providing a simple structure without the headache of starting a corporation. Corporation (C-Corp | S-Corp) – Corporations offer many benefits, including the ability to raise capital quickly. However, starting a corporation can be complicated. Contact our legal team immediately to get started on this complex legal matter. Professional Company – A professional company allows medical providers and other professionals to get the protection they need in their companies. Start your professional company today to ensure that your practice is protected and compliant. Sole proprietorships – Sole proprietorships give total control to one owner. However, this format doesn’t protect the owner’s personal assets. If you think a sole proprietorship is right for you, reach out to our law firm right away for help getting started. Choosing the right business structure can significantly impact your corporate governance and personal liability. The entity you choose may also dictate how you pay taxes and receive income.

  • Shareholder agreements – Shareholder agreements apply to corporations selling stocks to shareholders. These documents outline shareholders’ duties and rights and are critical to running a corporation.
  • Partnership agreements – No two partnerships are alike, which means you’ll need creative partnership agreements that match your goals and wishes. These documents specify each person’s duties, responsibilities, decision-making power, and more.
  • Operating agreements – Limited liability companies require operating agreements to be recognized under New York law. These documents include information about the business and how it will be run.
  • Employment agreements – Small business owners should remember to apply contract law to relationships with employees, including having employment agreements that indicate the responsibilities of employees and the employer.
