Connecticut Business Formation Attorney | LLC, Corporation, and Partnership Services

Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important legal decisions you will make as an entrepreneur. The entity you select affects your personal liability, tax obligations, and ability to raise capital. At Harborage Law, we help Connecticut business owners form the right entity from day one so they can focus on building their business with confidence.

Business Entity Types We Form

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs): The most popular choice for small businesses in Connecticut, an LLC provides personal liability protection while offering flexible management structures and pass-through taxation. We handle all formation documents, including the Articles of Organization filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State and a comprehensive Operating Agreement tailored to your needs.

Corporations (S-Corp and C-Corp): If you plan to seek outside investment or issue stock, a corporation may be the right fit. We prepare Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, initial board resolutions, and stock certificates. We also advise on whether an S-Corp election makes sense for your tax situation.

Partnerships: For businesses with two or more owners, we form both general partnerships and limited partnerships, drafting partnership agreements that clearly define each partner’s rights, responsibilities, profit-sharing arrangements, and exit strategies.

Sole Proprietorships and DBAs: If you are operating as a sole proprietor, we help you register your trade name (DBA) with the appropriate Connecticut town clerk and ensure compliance with local licensing requirements.
