What Is Business Law?

Business law encompasses the regulations governing the establishment, operation, and administration of business entities. It addresses various aspects such as contracts, taxes, trademarks, business creation and closure, consumer protection, and much more.

Types of Business Structures

When establishing a business, it's crucial to consider the wide array of business structures available to you. Selecting the optimal business type involves finding a balance between obtaining the necessary legal protections while also reaping the associated benefits.

Business structures include:

  • Sole proprietorships: This type of business is an unincorporated business with a single owner, where there's no distinction between the business and its owner. The owner gets all profits but also bears full responsibility for debts and losses.
  • Partnerships: Partnerships are where there is a formal agreement between two or more parties to run a business together, sharing profits and liabilities.
  • Corporations: A separate legal entity from its owners, with similar rights and obligations as individuals. Corporations can make contracts, borrow money, sue or be sued, hire staff, own assets, and pay taxes.
  • Limited liability company (LLC): LLCs protect owners from personal liability for debts or liabilities. This type of structure combines corporate features with those of a partnership or sole proprietorship.
  • S corporations: S corporations allow passing taxable income, deductions, and losses directly to shareholders under the tax code.
