Business Formation and Governance

One of the most important decisions any business owner makes is selecting the legal structure of the business. The choice of entity during business formation determines critical issues for the business, including taxation and liability. The structure of the entity also establishes the management structure and affects other important aspects of business operations and administration.

In Alabama, there are many types of business structures, some of which are specialized to accomplish very specific purposes. In general, an owner setting up a new business chooses from these types of legal structures:

  • Sole proprietorship
  • Partnership
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Corporation
  • Professional Corporation

The most suitable structure for a specific business depends on a number of factors, including the extent of owner control, level of personal and business liability, method of taxation, and complexity of management and administration.

Consulting with a business law attorney is the best approach to selecting a legal structure. Business law attorney David Trice learns all the details about your business and your future business plans before recommending legal structure options. David explains the advantages and disadvantages of each type of structure to ensure that you make a fully informed decision in choosing the entity structure for your business.
