Specialized Business Entities navigates the alphabet soup of business entities: S corporations, C corporations, PCs, LLCs, LPs, LLPs, LLLPs, and others. Learn the attributes of these and other entities and when each is advisable for you or your client. This publication explains the differences in tax treatment and liability and even provides estate planning and business valuation guidance. It discusses the legal, tax, business, and management considerations you need to weigh. You'll learn the 10 instances when the transfers of shares of a Missouri SCC are not subject to a right of first refusal, the 5 items that must be listed on a certificate of limited partnership, and the 2 major types of tests to be applied when considering a request for substantive consolidation of related entities. You'll be guided through the formation of a nonprofit corporation and discover whether Missouri law requires an LLP engaging in the business of providing professional services to carry malpractice liability insurance. The book includes a full-text, fully searchable CD-ROM that also includes sample forms and checklists.
