    Sole Proprietorship Business License & Formation

    Easy to establish and easy to run, sole proprietorships are also the riskiest type of business: You enjoy simplicity and control, but you’re completely liable for the business and its employees, with limited tax options.

    Name amendment requires proper research
    Low effort with high risk has benefits and drawbacks

    If you’re doing business without incorporating or forming an LLC, then by default, you’re a sole proprietorship: Your business is not its own legal entity.

     

    There’s no setup process, but there’s also no personal asset protection—your home, savings, etc. are susceptible to creditors. There’s less paperwork, but there’s still filing to do. You don’t share control, but you also can’t bring on a partner.

    Special purpose vehicle formation

    We can help you by:

    Unraveling your business structure options, including LLCs, S-Corporations, and C-Corporations so you can make an informed decision

     

    Discussing lawsuit potential—many people think having business insurance is enough, but oftentimes, it’s not

     

    Taking you through licensing, which is required regardless of your structure

     

    Assisting you with tax-related items, such as your employer ID number (EIN) and whether you’re subject to a self-employment tax

     

    Helping you secure a “Doing Business As” (DBA) name in order to make fundamental transactions like opening a bank account

    Trusted by lawyers and more than 300,000 businesses since 1892.
