Selecting the Entity That Is Right for You
Business entities are often formed after one of four basic types of business structures. These include sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations.
Each type has its own consequences for your personal liability for its debts as well as varying tax considerations:
- Sole Proprietorships are generally indistinguishable from their owners. Business income is reported on your personal tax return, and you retain liability for all of your business debts.
- Partnerships are formed among two or more people who divide their company’s profits and share its debts, but a limited liability variant is available to protect partners’ liability relative to their investment in the company.
- Corporations generally form as C or S corporations. The former separates personal and business assets of the owners, which is true for the latter, but S corporations have different tax rules and a limited number of allowed shareholders.
- Limited Liability Companies are generally considered a hybrid of a partnership and a corporation in that they protect their owning members’ personal liabilities for the company’s losses but allows them to benefit from its profits.
After learning more about your business objectives, we can advise you on which type of structure may be most suited to help you achieve them. Once you have decided on how you wish to establish your company, our business formation attorneys in Beverly Hills can help you create and file the necessary paperwork for licenses, permits, formation documents, partnership/membership agreements, and more.
Understanding Your Entity’s Tax Consequences
The legal structure of your business also determines how much you will pay in taxes and which opportunities to minimize your company’s exposure to taxation are available. Because of this, choosing a structure should not be taken lightly or done without legal guidance from an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, like ours at Greenberg Bitton LLP.
Whether you need help selecting potential business entities or already have a few possibilities in mind, our entity selection attorneys in Beverly Hills can help you make sense of the tax liabilities you will assume as a business owner.
