Atlanta Attorneys for Forming LLCs, Corporations, and Partnerships
Forming a Business in Georgia
Starting a new business is an exciting challenge. Of course, all entrepreneurs understand that every new venture involves risk. The type of organizational structure a business is formed under can have a significant impact on financial and personal liability issues. Each business entity was created with a different balance of general and personal liability, legal requirements, control, flexibility, and other characteristics. The attorneys at Vayman & Teitelbaum, P.C. are committed to guiding clients through the complex first steps of business ownership and entity selection.
LLCs — Corporations — Partnerships
When forming a new business or restructuring an existing business, there are a number of different legal entities from which to select. Some of the main options for business formation include:
- Corporations: including S-Corporations (S Corps), C-Corporations (C Corps), Professional Corporations (P.C.), Nonprofit Corporations, Statutory Close Corporations, and Cooperative Corporations.
- Limited liability companies (LLCs)
- Partnerships: including general, family and limited partnerships (LPs)
- Franchises
- Sole proprietorships
- Joint ventures
In evaluating which business entity is best for your business, you and your V&T Law attorney will discuss a broad range of topics, including:
- Business goals
- Your business plan
- Investor involvement
- Management style and day-to- day operations
- Risk tolerance
- Likely startup and operational costs
- Any owner contributed property
- The regulatory landscape for your type of business
- Intellectual property rights of the business
Based on the details of your business, you lawyer can discuss and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the various business entities to find the best fit for your business. The process can be confusing and the differences between entities are sometimes subtle. We can guide you through the decision making process and establish your Georgia LLC, Corporation, or Partnership.
Selecting an organizational structure is only the first step in establishing a successful business. We work with clients on licensing issues, commercial real estate and leases, corporate minutes, drafting service agreements and other corporate contracts.

The dissolution of a business is the process by which a corporation is legally disbanded.

The experienced business law attorneys at Vayman & Teitelbaum, P.C. will work with you through this intricate and often emotional process.
