Frequently Asked Questions About Corporate Law

At Snell Legal, we understand that corporate law can be complex, with many businesses needing clarity on legal matters that impact their daily operations and growth. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions to help you understand how we can assist you.

1. What is the best structure for my business?

The best business structure depends on factors such as your goals, liability tolerance, tax preferences, and growth plans. Common structures include:

• Sole Proprietorships: Simple to set up but offer limited liability protection.
• Partnerships: Allow for shared ownership but require clear agreements among partners.
• LLCs: Provide liability protection with flexible tax options.
• Corporations (S & C): Offer strong liability protection but have more compliance requirements.

Snell Legal can help you evaluate these factors and select the structure that best suits your needs.

Corporate governance practices vary depending on your company size and structure, but generally include:

• Establishing Bylaws and Operating Agreements
