What Business Structure is best for your business?

March 11, 2022

businessmanHow should you structure your business so it works best for you? The answer comes down to how you can protect as many of your assets as possible, and how you can use a Tampa business litigation attorney to help you make the most of the structure that you set up. There are a few options that you will want to discuss with your business attorney in Tampa including these that we are about to discuss. 

Sole Proprietorship 

If you wish to retain complete control over every aspect of your business, then there is no harm in setting up a sole proprietorship situation with your business transaction attorney Tampa. In this scenario, you retain full rights to everything in your business, but you also take on full responsibility for all that goes on as well. You might want to do this if you think that there is no way that you will bring in anyone else to ever help with any business matters at all. However, if you understand that you may need some help at some point in the future, then you might want to take it another direction. 

Partnership

Is there someone else that you want to work with to build your business up? If so, then you might look to the Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates P.A. for help. They can be of assistance because they will make sure you and your partner have legal documents drawn up that make sense to both sides and treat both sides fairly. 

Limited Liability Corporation

This arrangement helps keep personal issues with debt and the like out of the responsibility of the business to take care of. These are a great way to strike a balance between an individual and their own financial needs, and a company and its mission to earn an income. It is something that people do when they want to shield themselves (and each other) from the liabilities that the other partners bring to the table, and it can be set up with the help of your attorney. 

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
