What Type of Business Structure Should I Choose – Corporation or Partnership?
Choosing the right legal structure is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when starting a business. Each option carries different levels of risk, control, and responsibility—and what works for one venture might not be right for another.
For example, if your business involves outside investors or higher liability concerns, forming a corporation may offer greater protection, since shareholders generally aren’t personally responsible for the company’s debts beyond their investment. On the other hand, partnerships—especially general partnerships—can expose each partner to personal liability for business debts and the actions of the other partner. A limited partnership may reduce that exposure for some partners, but it still requires one partner to remain personally liable.
At Lacki & Company, LLC, we help new business owners across the Washington Metropolitan Area understand their options and choose a structure that aligns with their goals and risk tolerance. Before you move forward, make sure you have a clear picture of what each structure means for your business.
Schedule a consultation to discuss which legal structure fits your plans and sets you up for long-term success.
Are There Any Other Structural Options for My Business?
Many smaller startups choose to form a limited liability company (LLC) because it offers flexibility along with liability protection. An LLC can provide the same personal asset protection as a corporation, while allowing business owners more control over how profits are distributed. LLCs are also eligible for pass-through taxation, meaning profits are taxed at the individual level rather than at the higher corporate rate.
At Lacki & Company, LLC, we work with entrepreneurs to evaluate whether an LLC—or another legal structure—makes the most sense for their goals. We’ll walk you through the key considerations so you can move forward with confidence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our attorneys and start your business on the right path.
