When starting out as a business, the owner(s) must decide the most appropriate entity to use for their business. The choice and selection of the entity comes from an understanding of how best to operate a business in both Florida, nationally, and internationally, based on the intersection of income, estate and gift tax planning while affording the owner(s) of the business the best legal framework to operate to fit their needs and goals. We can help draft key legal documents and assist in overseeing important business transactions like structuring or restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and other negotiations that happen in a business’s life cycle.

What is an LLC?

 

An LLC can be used to shield investors and active participants in the same way as a corporation. It also has many of the asset protection features of limited partnerships such as limiting creditors to a charging order for multimember LLCs and the flow-through taxation benefits of a partnership. Other benefits include favorable Federal Transfer Tax treatment resulting from potential valuation discounts.
