Organizing Your Business: The Structure

- LLC or Limited Liability Company: includes elements of partnership and corporate structure
- Partnership: two or more partners co-own the business and share profits
- Sole proprietorship: a single individual in business for himself (most small businesses choose this form)
- Corporation: a business that is legally its own entity
- Non-Profit: organization established for some other purpose than financial profit
- Co-operative: organization jointly owned by those that use its services
Choosing the right type of structure for your business will depend upon how many owners there are, how you want it to be run, the type of business that it is, and many others.

Sanford Commercial Litigation Attorney
Not many law firms are engaged in addressing business and commercial litigation, which is a particularly complex area of law. In many cases, disputes and conflicts are resolved through mediation or arbitration, and we can represent your interests and protect your business in either situation. In some cases, it is not possible to resolve disputes through these alternative dispute resolution processes, and litigation must be undertaken for justice to prevail.
We can provide you with an evaluation of your situation and advise you of the options and what can be expected in your specific legal problem, and how to best proceed. Business disputes are inevitable, and unfortunately, these legal problems appear to have become part of the price of doing business. How these disputes are addressed and resolved is extremely important, as the financial losses can be extensive if not addressed with a great deal of legal skill and ability.
