Frequently asked questions
Should I form an LLC or a corporation in New Jersey?
It depends on the number of owners, financing plans, tax arrangements and management. An LLC is flexible and common for small and family businesses; companies planning to bring in investors or go public usually consider a corporation. Talk to an accountant as well before forming the entity.
The other side owes us money for goods. Can we sue right away?
You can, but first check the contract's dispute resolution clause (for example arbitration or a chosen court), gather invoices, delivery records and correspondence, and watch the statute of limitations. Many cases can be resolved first through a demand letter and negotiation.
