Tennessee Business Formation Law

LLCs, partnerships, and corporations

You need to set your business up properly from the very start. Your first major decision will be what type of basic business structure to use. Nashville business attorney Robert L. Scruggs will work with you to assess your needs and to file the applications for the type of business that is right for you.

Incorporate your business

You can avoid self-employment taxes and further reduce your exposure to debt liability if you choose to incorporate your business.

  • C corporation
  • S corporation

Form a partnership

A partnership may the right choice if you and your associates want to keep your start-up costs low.

  • General partnership
  • Limited Partnership
  • Limited Liability Partnership

Set up a limited liability company (LLC)

An LLC has characteristics of both partnerships and corporations, and is often the best choice for a sole proprietor.

  • Like partnerships, you can have pass-through income taxation
  • As with corporations, you have limited liability

Licenses and clearances

Depending on what type of business you are forming, there may be many other forms to file and legal hurdles to clear. Robert L. Scruggs has the commercial law experience to guide you through the necessary decisions and paperwork so that your business is safe and secure.
