Sole Proprietorship
This is the most basic form of business organization. In a sole proprietorship, the business owner or sole proprietor manages the business activities, receives all profits, and pays the taxes. However, both personal and business assets will be exposed to potential liability.
Partnership
This involves an association of two or more people serving as business co-owners, having a common goal of making profits. Partners may be held responsible for liabilities, debts, and actions of the partnership.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)
By limiting personal accountability for company liabilities and debts, an LLC offers its members corporate protection. It remains the most common structure used by small businesses.
Corporation
A corporation is a legal entity that offers sufficient protection to shareholders, officers, and directors. In the event of corporate liabilities, debts, or negligence, only the corporation will be held liable. Corporations have higher administrative costs and strict tax requirements.

Establishing the Contracts
No matter the product or service you offer, establishing the necessary contracts is important. Some common start-up contracts to draft include:
- Business contracts
- Non-compete agreements
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Buy-sell agreements
- Service contracts
- Employment agreements
- LLC operating agreements
- Partnership agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Shareholder agreements
- Employee handbooks

An experienced business formation attorney can draft or review your contracts, help you understand the wordings and contents, and help mitigate potential disputes.
Why Sound Contracts Are Important
A properly drafted contract can offer you and your business the following benefits:
- Avoid potential contract disputes, conflicts, or litigation, and mitigate risk
- Clarify business agreements, relationships, and rights of parties
- Prevent errors or misinterpretation in both agreements and communications
- Establish how disputes will be resolved through mediation, arbitration, or litigation
- Generate revenue and increase operational efficiency
- Extend the brand and values of your business
- Protect real property, intellectual property, and asset values
Filing Required Taxes
Your business entity determines the taxes you may need to pay. As a business owner, some common taxes to file include income tax, property tax, sales and use tax, employment tax, and excise tax. You may also need to obtain your federal and state tax ID numbers to file your taxes.
Applying for Licenses and Permits
Depending on your industry, you may need to obtain licenses and permits for your business to operate legally from both federal and state agencies.
Business Insurance
Business insurance provides protection to business owners from the unforeseen costs associated with running a business. You can also protect your business from potential liability and debt with the right business liability insurance policy.
