The choice between becoming an employee or starting a business of one's own is a difficult yet significant decision to make.  There are benefits to both courses of action and, of course, limitations.  Once the decision is made to start a business, what form of business entity should the operator choose.  Each form, from a sole propriertorship to a partnership to a limited liability company to a corporation, has its own characteristics, benefits, risks and liabilities.  Given the complexity of business operations and the significance of achieving success over failure, it is essential that owners make informed choices from the onset of operations.

     Once the business is operational, prudence may require that legal advice be sought to evaluate to potential consequences of decision making.  Property rights -real, personal and intellectual - need protection.  Hiring employees may be required.  And purchasing inventory and supplies is certainly a must.  Each of these facets of business operations may require legal advice to ensure compliance with law and to provide for asset protection and liablity minimization.

Miller, PLC has the expertise necessary to allow the business owner to make an informed decision as to the form of business entity that will suit the client's needs and to help achieve the client's goals.  Making a proper choice will allow the business owner to operate the business efficiently while providing maximum protection from  liability.
