Benefits Of Incorporation
Incorporation is one kind of business structure that most British Columbia business owners are familiar with. It is an option that may or may not be right for your business, depending on the nature of your enterprise, including geographic scope, tax planning issues, number of shareholders and professional responsibilities. Among the benefits of incorporation are the potential tax advantages and shielding the proprietor from personal liability that arises.
Businesses that are looking for alternatives to incorporation or that wish to reorganize their structure can also consider a general or limited partnership or sole proprietorship. At Laughlin & Company, our Port Coquitlam lawyers offer incorporation and corporate structure advice to businesses of all sizes. With an understanding of your business objectives, we can provide you with a legal assessment of your best options for the short- and long-term growth of your enterprise.
