Chicagoland Business Planning and Formation Attorneys

Business formation done properly can help set your business on a path to success. At Spagnolo & Hoeksema, LLC, our attorneys have advised clients on these matters throughout the Chicagoland region, including Illinois and Indiana.

Our experience allows us to provide counsel for individuals and businesses in need of help starting a new business or making changes to the formation of an existing one.

How Do You Choose Between A Corporation, Partnership, Or LLC?

The legal form your business chooses is a foundational question. Different legal forms such as a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, or a sole proprietorship have different management structures, and your role as an owner or manager may change depending on the form you choose.

Important questions such as the degree of risk that you will assume, the type of management structure, how taxes will be paid and the formality of reporting requirements are all dependent on your choice of entity. This is a complex analysis, and you want to receive counsel from attorneys who have a strong understanding of the subject of business law and formation.
