Choosing The Right Business Structure
While starting a business, it is important to choose a business model that will be the best fit for you. William Cooper Law., will analyze your current situation and choose a business structure that may limit your liabilities and protect your assets.
- Sole Proprietorship – Sole proprietorship are responsible for all the taxes, debts, and liabilities. In other words there is no distinction between the business and the person; i.e. the person is the business. As such, there is no liability shield when it comes to a sole proprietorship.
