Entity Formation

One of the most important steps in starting a new business is to decide on a legal structure. Our knowledgeable Hoffman Estates lawyers will evaluate a number of legal and tax implications, such as personal liability, up front and ongoing costs, flexibility and future needs, to help you choose the best business entity for your new endeavor. We will not only assist you in determining the most advantageous legal structure for your business, but also with setting it up. We help startups complete all necessary steps to establish sole proprietorships and the following types of business entities, including developing corporate bylaws, initial minutes, banking authorizations, obtaining S-corp status, checking for name conflicts and preparing partnership, operating and shareholder agreements:

  • General partnership
  • Limited partnership
  • Limited liability partnership (LLP)
  • Limited liability limited partnership (LLLP)
  • Limited liability company (LLC)
  • C-corporation
  • S-corporation
  • Not-for-profit organization

We also help new businesses comply with local, state and federal rules and regulations, including obtaining required licenses, permits and registrations. We can cut through the red tape and make a complicated process easy for you, so you will have confidence that your business is starting out on the right foundation.

Other Startup Considerations

Starting a business involves more than just entity formation. Our qualified Hoffman Estates attorneys can assist you with other startup related matters, such as:

  • Ownership and control issues
  • Capitalization
  • Phantom stock
  • Stock options
