Experienced Staten Island Business Formation Attorneys
Starting a new business is at once exciting and overwhelming. There are few better feelings than bringing your dreams to fruition. The business formation process, however, can be confusing. With so many different business structures to choose from, it’s hard to know where to begin.
At Angiuli & Gentile, LLP, we understand how challenging this process can be. That’s why we are dedicated to helping clients in Staten Island and throughout New York City navigate the legal aspects of business formation. Our experienced attorneys are ready to guide you through the process of choosing the right business structure and beginning your entrepreneurial endeavors with confidence.
Why Business Structure Matters
Choosing the right business structure is important because it will impact your taxes, liability and overall operations. Most businesses are structured in one of six ways, specifically:
- Sole proprietorship: Sole proprietorships are simple and easy to set up, but liability is unlimited.
- Partnership: Partnerships involve two or more people. Profits and liabilities in these ventures are shared.
- Limited liability company (LLC): LLCs are popular because they offer business owners liability protection and flexible tax options.
- C corporation (C-corp): C-corps provide strong liability protection but are subject to more regulations than LLCs – and double taxation.
- S corporation (S corp): S corps are similar to C-cops but allow profits (and losses) to be passed directly to owners to avoid double taxation.
- Nonprofit organization: Nonprofits are designed for charitable, educational or social purposes. They offer tax-exempt status but must adhere to strict regulations to maintain it.
Our lawyers will work with you to understand your business goals and recommend the best business structure to you based on these.
