Is Your Current Business Structure Achieving Your Goals?

As Texans, we’ve lived through COVID-19, we’ve lived through freezes, and now we’re battling inflation and higher costs of goods. With the changing state of the world, how was the year-end for your businesses? How did it compare to previous years? If your year-end suffered, it may be time to evaluate whether your current business structure is allowing your business to achieve its goals.

Review Your Business Structure: Is It Time for a Change?

As a business owner, it’s important to periodically review your business structure to ensure that it is still serving you and your company effectively. If your business is struggling and you’re not sure if your current business structure is still the best fit, it may be time to consider a change. There are several different business structures to choose from, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. 
​
The different business structures in Texas include LLCs, partnerships, sole proprietorships, professional limited liability companies, professional corporations, Sub S corporations, and C corporations. Each business structure offers varying levels of personal liability and different tax implications. They also differ in how the business is managed, how decisions are made, and the different options for funding and accessing resources. Ultimately, the business structure that is right for you will depend on your specific needs and goals.

Consult With an Attorney

Changing your business structure is not a decision to be taken lightly. It can have significant legal and financial consequences, so it’s important to consult with an attorney to ensure that you make an informed decision. An attorney can help you understand the pros and cons of each business structure, advise you on the best course of action, and assist with the process of making the transition. Don’t let the challenges of the current economic climate hold your business back—take control and explore the options available to you.
