There are many different ways to structure your business. We offer professional legal advice for those listed below. Whichever form you wish to register your business as, our proficiency and ability to represent you in the best way possible will grant you ease of mind as you tend to your business.
If you own a business alone, if you are the sole signatory for the business, if you don’t have to take permission before taking a business action then you are a sole owner of the business, and this means you run a sole proprietorship form of business. While some states in the US might require some paperwork in order to get business permits, you are completely free from the complexity of incorporations – but be advised that it doesn’t generally mean you don’t have ropes to untangle.
Just as every other form of business, running a sole proprietorship business has its bad sides and good sides. The IRS is always looking for defaulters, and employees are looking to get promoted. This is why you should not give the IRS a reason to investigate and prosecute you.
At the Law Office of Reed Yurchak, we proffer advise and guide business owners through the processes of filing a name for your business, acquiring any business permit (as required in the Washington state), declaring your income and paying your taxes, and also obtaining insurance to cover your business. We make sure you are on the right side of the law.
Adhering to the laws and rules that regulate businesses registered in the form of C–Corporations can be next to impossible for investors, shareholders as it is rigorous. C-Corporations distance shareholders from the business itself, so the business owners and investors are free from any liability that might be a result of the activities of the business. Here, the IRS is only interested in the business – and unlike S-Corporations where numbers of shareholders are limited, the number of shareholders allowed for businesses registered as a C-Corporation is not limited and the business can act independently.
Registering a business in the form of C-Corporation includes very complicated phases. In C-Corporation businesses, owners will have to draft and also file the article of incorporation of the business, together with a business name. Stock certificates will then have to be given to shareholders and investors; these stocks can be publicized or privately disbursed to investors.
If you are already sure that your business is better under the C-Corporation, attorney Reed Yurchak will help you through the necessary phases of setting up your business. But in a situation where you are caught in the middle of decisions and options; we will carefully listen to your business goals and plan as this will help us offer you the best business advice.
Hiring the professional services of an attorney, skilled and experienced in business law is very crucial to ensure your business doesn’t encounter legal issues in the foreseeable future. When you hire attorney ReedYurchak to assist in the formation of your limited liability company, we lay bare, the structure of a limited liability so you comprehend its tax benefits, and how your state law might affect your company. We also guide you through the processes of filing a mandatory article of the organization, espousing company regulations, bylaws and other agreements; which of course require a legal team.
Having the characteristics of a partnership and a corporation, limited liability companies have liability protection and it is characterized by an easy structure, compared to C-Corporation and S-Corporations. Registering a business in the form of a limited liability company offers lots of benefits, but once again, it depends on how you choose to run your business. It is a great choice in the sense that you don’t have to worry about settling business debts or lawsuits with your personal income – your business financial returns are the only source considered.
Limited liability companies also have the ownership structure as the sole proprietorship, in the sense that registering a business as a limited liability company doesn’t necessarily require multiple signatories. You can choose to register your own personal business (where you are the sole owner) as a limited liability company (not entirely moving on from sole proprietorship); this way your personal income from other sources are not at risk when your business is being financially targeted.
State laws with regards to limited partnership differ, more reason why it is vital for business partners and investors wishing to invest in a partnership business, to make sure their incomes are protected from the carelessness of other members of the business.
The Law Office of Reed Yurchak offers legal advice and guide, in making decisions that affect the business legally.
Debts and lawsuits are common in the United States; this is why several forms of businesses and partnerships exist, to suit the interest of individuals wishing to register their businesses. Limited liability partnership protects some investors and partners from liabilities. We offer an extensive guide and enlighten clients on how not to be liable for business actions.
You own or run a non-profit organization if you don’t seek to use the financial returns of the organization as a personal income or expenses. Non-profit organizations can exist as a human right activist organization, charity organization, foster care, environmental care among several others.
As an organization in the Washington State, starting a non-profit organization can be tiring and might be subjected to scrutiny and criticism. However, the most challenging issue of non-profit organizations is meeting the legal requirements of being exempted from federal and state taxes. For non-profit organizations to be able to carry out their duties and achieve their organizational goals, they need to be free from enormous federal and states taxes they might be required to pay due to financial contributions they receive.
Every day people try to beat systems and for this reason, organizations are required to meet certain requirements to obtain a tax-exempt status, attorney Reed Yurchak is vastly seasoned in helping organizations acquire tax-exempt status. Some of the legal issues a non-profit organization might face are briefly discussed.
There are many other legal issues that non-profit organizations are bound to encounter. We guide non-profit organizations by offering legal advice on how and when to best respond to public opinions, how to spend organization money in order to maintain tax-exempt status. We help organizations develop systems for accountability, documentation processes that are of Washington State standard.
The foundation of any professional service is the highest order of professionalism and unquestionable respect for clients and public opinion. Those who offer and provide professional services for the general public, must always be ethical in all their activities, and we always consider a chance to represent individuals that offer professional services an honor and we like always, give the best. It is common for those that offer professional services to face trials due to lawsuits from clients or business partners, and we unhesitatingly embark on the journey of proving the innocence of our clients.
The above-aforementioned topics are just a few of the considerations that will need to be decided with the adoption of the business type. The law office of Reed Yurchak has advised clients on the matters that are most critical to their business and success – we have been there at every key decision and step to help guide our clients to maximize their success.
