BUSINESS LAW

Business Formation

Starting a business is exciting but also tricky because of all the legal stuff. It's not just about having a great idea; you need to plan well and understand the law to make sure your business starts strong. Choosing the right legal setup for your business (like being the only owner, having partners, or creating a company) is super important. This choice affects how much tax you pay if you lose personal things if the business has trouble, and your ability to get money to grow your business. Getting help from legal professionals like Gary De Pury Law Firm can make it easier to pick the best setup for your business and help you start on the right foot.

  • What's the best legal structure for my new business?

    The "best" structure varies depending on your business needs, including liability concerns, tax obligations, and growth plans. Consulting with a lawyer can help you weigh the pros and cons of each structure and choose the one that aligns best with your objectives.

  • Do I need an attorney to start my business?

    While it's possible to establish a business on your own, having a lawyer can substantially benefit the process. An attorney will address legal concerns, draft custom agreements, and ensure that your business starts on secure legal footing. It's a valuable investment that can prevent costly errors down the line.

  • How can I protect my personal assets when starting a business?

    One common way to protect personal assets is by forming a business structure such as an LLC or corporation which provides a legal separation between business and personal assets. It's wise to discuss available options with an attorney to determine the most suitable structure for your personal asset protection.
