When determining the best form of entity to use when forming a new business, there are a number of considerations that clients should contemplate before drafting and filing the applicable formation documents. Will the company be providing a service or selling a product? How widely will equity in the business be shared? Will employees be given equity? Do you contemplate raising venture capital or angel financing? Will there be significant losses generated early that can offset other personal income? These are just a few of the questions that attorneys should be asking their clients before advising on whether a corporation or a limited liability company makes the most sense. Hear the faculty analyze these and other considerations and discuss key drafting decisions in forming these entities.
