How Do You Form a Business in Oklahoma?

When forming a business, one of the first and most important decisions to make is the structure you will use. A business structure is the legal classification of a business that determines taxes, liability, and other legal rights and responsibilities. 

A range of business structures is available, including:


  • Sole proprietorship
  • General partnership
  • Limited partnership
  • Limited liability company (LLC)
  • Corporation 
  • Cooperative 


The best business structure for your business depends on a range of different factors. 

Five Important Ways a Lawyer Helps Your Business in Oklahoma

A business lawyer can advise you on a range of issues when forming a business.  


  1. Choosing the right structure for your business -  Choosing the right structure is the key to building a strong foundation for your business and its future growth. A business lawyer can advise you on the pros and cons of each structure available to you, relevant to your circumstances. 
  2. Industry specific advice -  A business lawyer can give you advice specific to the industry in which you operate, as well as the product or service you're offering. This includes assisting you with understanding the applicable regulations and any necessary licenses or permits.  
  3. Drafting and negotiating legal documents -  Business formation typically involves the preparation of a range of documents, such as business registration papers, intellectual property registrations, and other commercial documents. A lawyer can assist you in accurately drafting these documents. Importantly, a business lawyer can draft legally binding contracts or negotiate the terms of a contract to benefit you and your business. These are essential to many aspects of running a business, for example, partnership agreements.
  4.  Understanding your tax obligations -  Failing to properly understand your tax obligations can result in significant tax liability down the track. Taxation is a complex area so engaging a business lawyer, along with a qualified accountant, is the best way to ensure compliance. They can also advise you about what tax breaks, credits, and deductions are available based on your business' structure and circumstances. 
  5. Employment law -  If you hire employees, you must comply with a suite of employment laws and regulations. A business lawyer can help you navigate these and draft effective employment contracts that protect both you and your employees. Termination especially can be a legal minefield, so reliable legal advice on this is essential. 


This will help protect both your interests and your business's interests in the future.
