Limit Your Personal Liability When Forming A Business
When forming a business, it is important to choose a structure that protects your personal belongings from business debts or lawsuits. Many business types offer this, including:
- Sole proprietorship: The simplest structure, where you and the business are legally one. This offers no liability protection, so your personal assets are at risk.
- Partnership: A business owned by two or more people. In a general partnership, all partners have unlimited personal liability. A limited partnership has both general partners (unlimited liability) and limited partners (limited liability).
- Limited Liability Company (LLC): A flexible structure that separates the business from its owners. It provides limited liability, protecting personal assets from business debts.
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): A structure often used by professionals, such as lawyers. It provides liability protection from the negligence of other partners.
- Corporation: A separate legal entity from its owners (shareholders). This is the most complex structure but offers the strongest protection. Shareholders have limited liability and are not personally responsible for the corporation’s debts. While all corporations provide this core liability protection, different types, such as C corps, S corps and nonprofits, are distinguished primarily by their tax treatment, ownership structure and overall purpose.
Selecting the proper entity for your business will have a long-term impact on the success of your business. Together, we will evaluate your needs and select the business formation structure that best suits your needs. Our knowledgeable business attorneys advise business clients on the different business organization structures.
