Form an LLC or Corporation

When forming a business, it is important to consult with a business lawyer to determine which type of legal entity will be the best fit.

Limited Liability Company (LLC) Formation 

An LLC is attractive to those looking for a flexible option that is straightforward and inexpensive to set up. It takes away an individual’s burden of full obligation for business debt and protects personal assets by providing limited liability to the owners. To start and register an LLC can mean simpler tax filing. Company formation often begins by contacting a business LLC attorney as the first step in separating the business entity from the owners.

Corporation Formation

A corporation can be the most complicated of the legal entities but allows the company to issue stock, be publicly traded, and outlive the owners. We can assist in creating a C Corp or an S Corp.
C Corporations: By default, your corporation will fall into this structure. 
S Corporations: Depending on your needs (and working in harmony with your accountant) we can assist you in setting up your business as an S Corporation.
McFarland Ritter can carefully walk through the complexities of corporations to help you determine the right option based on how many shareholders you have, what classes of stock you’d like to offer, and compliance requirements. We will listen to your unique needs and goals, as well as provide clear communication and guidance to help you determine the best corporate structure for your company.
With our strong base of legal knowledge and commitment to staying up-to-date on current case law and legal issues, you can trust that we will provide the most efficient and effective path to establishing your corporation.

Sole Proprietorships

A sole proprietorship is simple to set up; however, in a sole proprietorship, you will be personally liable for business losses and claims.

Partnerships

Partnerships offer some flexibility but pose risks to personal assets. If you use this business arrangement it is crucial to have a clear partnership agreement that outlines profit sharing, roles, responsibilities, and how to handle conflicts. We will help you draft a thorough, legally binding partnership agreement that clearly outlines partnership boundaries.

When appropriate, we will help you confidently make the right decisions for structuring your business.
