• Choosing a business entity: The right business entity selection will give your new business a solid foundation for growth. The optimum entity for your business depends on the nature of your business, your objectives and goals, the people involved, and the risks involved. The most frequent entities recommended for Texas businesses are an LLC (limited liability company), a corporation, or a partnership. Other available entities include sole practitioner, LLP (limited liability partnership), small business S corporations, traditional business C corporations, family closed corporations, and nonprofit corporations. Talk to your Slater & Kennon lawyer about the right entity for you.
• Setting up operations: Your new business needs corporate by-laws for corporate governance, policies and procedures, and related documents. Our business startup law firm can help you establish the legal foundation for your operations.
