Frequently Asked Questions for Our Dedicated Business Formation Attorneys

Why Should I Incorporate My Business?

Incorporating your business provides security. Incorporation can help protect your personal assets, increase tax savings, raise capital, and ensure continuity to continue operating without interruption even if a partnership dispute arises.

Which Type of Business Entity Should I Choose?

Deciding between a limited liability company or corporation, or choosing which type of corporation to form, is a decision best made in consultation with a trusted business formation attorney in Florida. Our dedicated attorneys can explain the differences and outline the benefits of each type of entity, so you can make informed decisions about the future of your company.

Can I Lessen My Personal Liability By Incorporating?

Unlike a sole proprietorship or general partnership, a business owner’s personal assets are no longer at risk once they incorporate.

That includes personal asset protection from lawsuits stemming from employment discrimination or harassment claims or negligence. While some of these risks may be covered by liability insurance, any inadequate coverage could lead to out-of-pocket costs without the protection incorporation provides.

How Do I Create a Business Entity?

Corporations and LLCs are formed at the state level and require proper documentation, filings, and fees to form an entity properly. Our leading business formation attorneys can help you understand which type of entity is right for your goals, so you can operate legally and without worry.

What is the Difference Between a Corporation and an LLC?

The biggest difference between an LLC and a corporation is that the LLC allows for pass-through tax treatment, whereas the corporation does not.

Generally, corporations are taxed both at the corporate level and at the shareholder level when distributions are made to shareholders. S-corporations allow for pass-through tax treatment, but S-corporations, unlike LLCs, allow for only one class of stock and have other ownership restrictions that LLCs do not.

Bottom line, the decision whether to be a C-corporation, an S-Corporation, a limited liability company, or any other form of business entity often comes down to the type of business you are pursuing and finding a structure that is most tax efficient and easy to maintain.

What is a Nonprofit Corporation?

A nonprofit corporation is a tax-exempt entity that is generally formed to carry out charitable purposes.

Can I Use an Online Service to Incorporate My Business?

Online companies that provide incorporation services may seem like the easiest way to get your company started. However, a website cannot provide the complete legal advice you need to succeed. Partnering with a skilled business formation attorney allows you to understand the different types of entities and which type of entity is the best for your needs.

We will also provide the legal requirements and all government entities involved with the formation of your corporation, advise on operating your corporation within compliance with the law, and your ongoing legal requirements once your corporation is formed.
