Business Entity Formation: Choosing the Right Structure

Most companies are established as one of four basic business entities. These include partnerships, sole proprietorships, limited liability companies, and corporations.

At the Law Office of Steven R. Lovett, we can help any business owner establish the type of company that they feel is best suited to help them accomplish their long-term business goals.

Each business structure comes with its own considerations for personal liability and taxation:

• Sole Proprietorships: The business owner is legally indistinguishable from their company. All business debts and profits personally belong to the business owner.
• Partnerships: A business formed among two or more people who decide how the business’s profits and liabilities will be divided among them. Each partner can therefore be personally liable for some part of the company’s debts, unless organized as a limited liability partnership or limited partnership.
• Limited Liability Companies: These businesses differ from partnerships in that their members are not personally liable for their business’s debts. It’s also common for individuals to hold assets like rental properties and vacation homes in LLCs to insulate either the property or their personal estate from liability.
• Corporations: Whether organized as C or S corporations, these businesses protect their business (delete “completely”) owners against the company’s liabilities, unless a personal guarantee exists. Corporations are the most complicated businesses to establish and maintain.

Unsure of which business structure is right for your company? Our business formation attorney in Los Angeles can provide you with the information and guidance you need to make the decision that’s right for you.

Considering a Business Partnership?

If you’re thinking about establishing a partnership, don’t make the crucial mistake that so many before you have made. Many people who form business partnerships do so with friends and trusted colleagues, so they may feel that it is unnecessary to memorialize how their business will work with a partnership agreement is unnecessary.

Failing to establish a partnership agreement can be a terrible mistake to make, especially when the company experiences hard times or partners begin to disagree on how to run the company. It’s not uncommon for partnerships to fail prematurely either because they had a weak partnership agreement or none at all.

Our business formation attorney in Los Angeles can help you and your business partners protect your company and your interests by creating a sane and sensible partnership agreement. A document prepared by a competent lawyer like ours can serve as a guiding light during any disputes that may arise in the future – it can even help you avoid unnecessary and costly litigation.
