Although sole proprietorships may seem like the most simple and straightforward of business entities, it’s best to work with one of our knowledgeable business formation lawyers to ensure that you set yourself up for success.

When you structure your business as an S Corporation, you can enjoy certain tax advantages. An S Corporation is not taxed for its profits, but the tax liability is passed through to the stockholders (effectively eliminating the double taxation associated with C Corporations). Our experienced business formation legal experts are here to answer your questions and help you with all of your S Corporation needs.
