Business Formations & Transactions

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS AND FORMATIONS WITH A BUSINESS ATTORNEY

Choosing the appropriate form of business is an essential consideration for Jacksonville business owners – whether during the formation of a new business or expanding an existing one. The various business forms each offer advantages and disadvantages. These often include:

• Protecting the owner’s personal assets
• Tax treatment
• Ease of transfer
• Limitation of liability

Beyond the selection and formation of business structures, business owners also need legal advice on daily matters and transactions affecting their businesses.

The first step on the journey to owning your own business is a great idea. The second step is to form your business legally. This step involves drawing up legal documents and filing them with the state. This process is a critical step because it creates the legal structure for your business arrangement. It also protects your personal assets from the liabilities of your business.

WHAT LEGAL DOCUMENTS DO YOU NEED FOR YOUR FLORIDA BUSINESS?

There are many different options when creating your business, and making the right decisions now will help you avoid problems down the road. Corporate documents in Florida need to be carefully customized to properly fit the circumstances of each person or group of individuals. To start with, you need to decide how to structure your business. For example, do you want to start an LLC (limited liability corporation) or a corporation? If you want to go with a corporation, should it be an S corporation or a C corporation? There are advantages and disadvantages to each option, and making the right choice at the beginning is critical.
