Business formation is a fundamental aspect of starting a new company, especially when starting a partnership. It’s important to observe that the requirements for forming a business may vary from state to state and it also depends on what type of industry you are in. If you are forming an LLC, a corporation, a sole proprietorship, nonprofit, or a partnership, the business formation attorneys at Borrus, Goldin, Foley, Vignuolo, Hyman & Stahl, P.C. are highly experienced in assisting you with everything you need to get your business started.

The four main types of business formations are a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, and a corporation. Each type of business formation has its own advantages and disadvantages.

General Partnerships

– Differ from a sole proprietorship, being that general partnerships are joint businesses whose primary responsibilities are management, profits, and especially debt liability. If you are planning to be in or currently in a general partnership, it is especially important to have an attorney. It is imperative that anyone entering into a general partnership knows either partner can be liable for all of the debts in the partnership. Also, any one partner is capable of binding the two partners under contracts. Essentially, a general partnership is a joint effort between two or more sole proprietorships.

Limited Partnerships

– Similar to a general partnership, a limited partnership is a partnership where only one partner is required to be the general partner. When people are putting together a real estate development or investing in a business, it is very common for individuals to go in a limited partnership. In this type of formation, there is a written agreement between the general partners even though there are no filed state documents. Generally, each partner invests a certain amount of funds. Likewise, each partner expects to receive an expected amount of the profits.

Labor and Employment Issues

Labor and employment issues are protected by a number of state and federal laws. These laws are important to both workers and businesses, labor organizations, and governments. Collective bargaining, discrimination, employee leave, personnel issues, unemployment, wages, and hours are just a few of the major employment and labor issues common today.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the majority of American adults with disabilities are either unemployed or underemployed even though they have the ability and the desire to work and be contributing members of society. Also, approximately one-third of employee discrimination charges reported to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission site discrimination due to disability. Individuals with disabilities also report various employment barriers to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Employer Use of Background and Credit Checks

It is not very common for a potential employer to require a credit check prior to employment. In some states, it may not even be legal for companies to determine employment eligibility based on credit checks unless they obtain written consent from the applicant. The government remains prudent against background checks preceding employment. More specifically, it is even more prudent against using arrest records to base employment decisions.

The aforementioned scenarios are just a few examples of major employment issues. However each year, laws on employment change regularly and it is important for employees as well as employers to allow one of our qualified attorneys to evaluate certain employment policies, procedures and practices frequently.
