How big do we have to be to need the services of a lawyer?

Size does not matter. Whether you are a sole proprietor, a corporation, or a partnership, your business will encounter legal issues that require answers. We can help.

I want to start my own business in a simple and straightforward way. Would starting as a sole proprietor be a good idea?

It depends. Sole proprietorships are the simplest form of business ownership, defined as businesses owned and operated by a single individual. Unlike corporations, a sole proprietorship is not considered a separate legal entity and, therefore, is not a taxable entity itself. Legally, the business and the owner are the same. Profits and losses are reported on the owner’s personal tax return. The main advantage of a sole proprietorship is that the owner receives all the profits directly. However, the primary drawback is that the owner is personally liable for all the business's debts and obligations.
