Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County Business Formations Attorney
There are pros and cons associated with every type of business formation. In general, the more direct control a business owner has of a company, the more liability he or she must shoulder. How profits are passed along to shareholders and how money is handled for federal income tax purposes depends on whether you opt for an S-corporation or a C-corporation.
Additionally, if you're a small business owner, your bylaws should compliment the terms of your estate plan for business continuity purposes. At the law office of Howard M. Hyman, we advise and represent individuals and companies in regard to formation, regulatory, and compliance issues. We also provide ongoing, consultative legal services for small and medium-sized businesses as business needs change and develop over time.
Regardless of whether you're opening a small business or merging operations with an existing company, we have the resources and experience needed to help you. To schedule an appointment, contact business law attorney Howard M. Hyman today.
