Corporate & Business Law

In D.C., Maryland, Virginia & New York

Two of the primary concerns of most individuals contemplating starting a business are ensuring asset protection and protection from personal liability. At Bullock Law PC, we can help you determine the best incorporation strategy for your entity, as well as guide you in terms of the forms you need to get started with each state/area. Contact us today to get started with a consultation. Here are some of the different incorporation options:

Corporations (S Corp & C Corp)

Two of the common corporation types include S Corps and a C Corps, each of which can have distinct tax advantages for owners / shareholders. Though corporations generally have more formal record-keeping and reporting requirements, too. Forming a corporation ensures that you and other shareholders aren’t personally on the hook for company debts and liabilities.

Limited LiabiLIty Companies

Limited Liability Companies or LLCs are one of the easiest businesses you can startup and maintain. The owners of LLCs are called members, and their ownership is divided into membership interests. Depending on the income, you might see more tax advantages from an S Corp, but talk to us first and we can help guide you.

Limited & General Partnerships

A general partnership is the most common type of partnership, in which all partners contribute to the day-to-day management of the business. A limited partnership is a relationship where one or more partners are known as “silent partners” and are not involved in the day-to-day management operations. If you’re interested talk to us about which may be right for you.

Sole Proprietorships

A sole proprietorship is a one-person business owned by an individual who also handles the operation of the business. For legal and tax purposes, you’re not a separate entity from your business, which means the business’ income is your income, but you’re also personally responsible for the debts and any liabilities. Contact us and we can you through your options.
