There are a number of options. You can decide to form as a corporation, a partnership or a limited liability company.

The following table can provide some guidance on these considerations. Click here to view table.
However, it is advisable that you consult with an attorney when making this decision. Our attorneys can advise you on liability, tax and other considerations to keep in mind and guide you to choose the right entity for your business.

You can protect your business with a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The NDA, also known as a confidentiality agreement, must be drafted correctly to make it enforceable, which requires a thorough understanding of contract law and precedent. The NDA must also contain effective enforcement provisions; otherwise, you could end up spending a year in court and running your business into the ground before you get to a judgment. Our lawyers are experts at creating confidentiality agreements, and other business contracts, that provide real protection for your business.
