Start Your Business on the Right Foundation

Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you will make as an entrepreneur. Whether you are launching a new venture or formalizing an existing business, the entity you choose — sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation, or partnership — affects your personal liability, tax obligations, and ability to grow. At the Law Offices of Lucille A. Anzalone, we provide clear, personalized guidance to help you make the right choice from day one.

Why This Matters for Your Business

Many business owners select their entity type without fully understanding the legal and financial implications. An LLC may protect your personal assets, while a corporation could offer advantages for raising capital. A sole proprietorship may be simpler to start but exposes you to personal liability. Having an experienced attorney guide you through these decisions helps avoid costly mistakes and positions your business for long-term success.

What You Should Know

In New York, business formation filings must comply with state requirements including Articles of Organization (for LLCs) or Articles of Incorporation (for corporations) filed with the Secretary of State. Publication requirements must also be met within 120 days of formation. Failing to meet these requirements can affect your business's good standing.
