Business Law:  Entity Formation

When an entrepreneur has made the decision to start a business or buy an existing business, one of the first steps is to determine the type of business entity that will best serve the financial and operational goals of the entrepreneur.  In most instances, this analysis will be driven by concerns regarding the tax treatment of the business' profits (or losses), the potential of personal liability for the business' debts and the management and control of the business.
