Personal Liability Protection: Why You Need a Business Entity
Protecting your personal assets is one of many good reasons for you to run your business through a corporation (SubChapter-S corporation, C-Corp or Non-Profit) or as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Even if you have formed a corporation or LLC just filing Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State’s office does not provide you with the protection that you need. In order to have a valid and effective business entity you need to do the following:
• Draft by-laws, subscription agreements, buy-sell agreements, minutes and resolutions
• Update your records to make sure they are an accurate reflection of the will of the owners of the corporation or company
• Conduct corporate meetings, take minutes and record resolutions
• Conduct an annual shareholders meeting and register your company each year
• You should only sign documents on behalf of the corporation that clearly set out that you are signing on behalf of the company as an officer of the company
If you are running a business or buying a commercial property you should strongly consider forming a business entity. At Nash Law Firm we can work with you and your accountant/CPA to form the entity that will best protect you, often at a flat rate. Take a look below at a couple of the different types of business entities.
