Entity Formation Services
Unless you are operating as a sole proprietorship, the first step toward commercializing your idea involves creating a formal business entity to run your company. Pennsylvania law recognizes many different forms of business structure, and each type of entity offers different advantages and drawbacks when it comes to vital matters such as liability, management and control. Our business formation practice includes helping you identify the entity that most closely matches your needs and goals, and performing the necessary steps to establish your company as a legal entity licensed to do business in Pennsylvania. The main entities most commonly formed in Pennsylvania are corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies.
Corporations
Creating a corporation is a strategic decision that offers numerous benefits, including liability protection for owners and enhanced credibility. Our team assists in navigating the legal requirements for establishing a corporation, from drafting the Articles of Incorporation to advising on corporate governance issues. We ensure compliance with Pennsylvania state laws, aiding in setting up a structure that suits your business needs.
Partnerships
Partnerships offer a flexible structure for businesses with favorable taxation, especially suited for joint ventures or family-owned enterprises. We help draft partnership agreements that clearly outline the roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing mechanisms, ensuring a harmonious business relationship among partners.
Limited Liability Companies (LLC)
For those seeking a structure that blends the liability shield of a corporation with the tax benefits of a partnership, forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) can be an ideal choice. Our Franklin business law attorneys are well-equipped to advise on LLC formation, including the preparation of an Operating Agreement and filing the necessary documentation with the Pennsylvania Department of State. We focus on creating an LLC structure that offers flexibility in management and control of daily operations and major business decisions, combined with liability protection.
