Protect Your Business
The corporate form provides many advantages to entrepreneurs. Shareholders are shielded from personal liability for corporate liabilities. At the same time, you can raise equity for the company by selling stock to investors.
Forming a corporation requires some planning. For example, you should consider whether the corporate form is ideal or if you want to form some other entity, like a limited liability company. Even those set on the corporate form will need to decide between forming a C or S corporation. Your choice makes a difference when it comes to taxes and other considerations.
Our attorneys can create everything you need to form a corporation:
- Articles of incorporation—you file these with the state. They include important information, such as the corporate name and the identity of a registered agent.
- Bylaws—these are the internal regulations for your corporation, dealing with such matters as how often the board of directors will meet, as well as who has day-to-day decisionmaking power.
- Issue shares to shareholders. You should settle on a share structure first and then issue your first shares.
- Constitute a board of directors to oversee the corporation. Choosing the right board is a complicated process. You should lean on an experienced corporate attorney for assistance.
Tax planning is also an important tool for companies. No business should pay too much in taxes. Helpfully, you might qualify for tax credits or incentives which end up lowering your tax burden.
At the same time, you don’t want to employ tax avoidance techniques of dubious legality. That will only invite scrutiny from state and federal tax regulators. Let the team at Ronald Cutler, P.A. analyze your tax issue and determine the correct way to minimize your overall burden. We might shift income to a different tax year or employ a different strategy.
