Here is your first Forum » The legal structure of your company

Before incorporating a company or even choosing a jurisdiction, you must plan a corporate structure for your business and, based on that, determine the purpose of the business you wish to incorporate. It is important to understand the business structure of your company as this will determine the jurisdiction and type of company you choose to best serve your needs.

As different legal entities are usually subject to different tax regulations, it is important to have a clear vision for your company, including its scope of activity and corporate structure. Choosing the right legal form for your business is crucial for tax planning purposes; otherwise you risk additional costs that could easily have been avoided. In addition, some types of companies have certain restrictions on accepting new business partners or third-party investors, which can be problematic if you want to work with invested capital. One of the most important aspects is the liability of the owners: different legal entities have different levels and mechanisms of liability for the business owner in relation to the company's relationships with third parties. In order to avoid unnecessary risks, we strongly recommend that you think carefully about your choice of legal form.
