Launching a Successful Business Starts With the Right Foundation

Starting a new business venture is exciting, but it also involves many important decisions that will impact your company's future success. One of the most critical early choices is determining your business's legal structure. The right entity can provide significant advantages in taxation, liability protection, and operational efficiency.

At Kingston Law PC, our experienced business attorneys will guide you through evaluating your goals and selecting and forming the ideal legal entity. We have in-depth knowledge of all the business structures permitted under California law, including:

• Corporations (C-corps, S-corps, professional corporations)

• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

• Partnerships (general, limited, LLPs)

• Sole Proprietorships

• Joint Ventures

• And more

Tailoring the Optimal Structure for Your Business

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to choosing a business entity. Your choice depends on factors like:

• Number of owners

• Desired level of liability protection

• Tax treatment requirements

• Need for investor financing

• Long-term growth plans

• Estate planning objectives

We will analyze your situation to identify each option's potential advantages and drawbacks. Our attorneys take the time to understand your vision and then make a recommendation focused on facilitating your strategic goals from the outset.
