Why is business formation so important for NC General Contractors?

Here are the top five reasons for a sound formation of your North Carolina General Contracting Business.

• Protection
  Forming a Corporation or a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for your North Carolina general contracting business helps safeguard your personal assets. This step separates your personal assets from those attributed to the business. General Contracting involves significant risk, so if issues arise, such as lawsuits or business debts, a properly structured business can help protect your personal property, savings, and other assets.
• Financial Accounts
  Correct business formation allows you to open financial accounts for the business. We’ve observed many general contracting businesses face risk exposure and discipline from the General Contracting Board due to running funds through personal accounts.
• Tax Advantages
  Forming a Corporation or an LLC can offer certain tax benefits for your business operation.
• Image / Brand
  A correctly set up General Contracting business may increase the likelihood of clients, vendors, and community members engaging with your business. When submitting certain documents, there’s an added trust factor when dealing with a legally formed corporation or LLC as opposed to an individual.
• Long Term Growth
  Forming your business with a solid foundation facilitates easier growth. As you expand, you may need more capital or insurance coverage. Setting everything up correctly now can make it easier to obtain these in the future. You don’t want to reach a point where you’ve hit a certain threshold and a bank denies a loan because of improper setup, or you can’t secure necessary insurance for a project due to inadequate business documentation.

Why does North State Law specifically help General Contractors in Business Formation?

At North State Law, we have extensive experience handling licensing issues when General Contractors face complaints submitted to the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors. Over the years, we’ve observed firsthand how some businesses were formed and the problems they face due to inadequate formation that fails to protect the business principal.

General Contractors enter the business because of their skills, talent, and passion for construction, not because they enjoy administrative procedures.

By offering this service, we aim to provide General Contractors with professional support to ensure they’re doing everything correctly. This protects what they’ve already built and will build in the future, while allowing them to elevate their business without dealing with procedural challenges.

Just as General Contractors have skills in construction, we have skills in sound business formation via administrative procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my business is a partnership? Can you help with that too?

Yes, regardless of your specific situation, we can assist you. Generally speaking, no two businesses are identical, so each client we help may have unique elements. This may include businesses with more than one principal.

I already started my business but feel like I didn’t do something right. Can you still help?

Yes, we’d be glad to review your current formation and identify potential future problems. We can offer our services to address any risks we may identify.

What if I need tax or financial assistance?

Our main focus is on helping you with the business formation process and submitting the necessary information to the North Carolina Secretary of State. However, we have strong relationships with tax and financial professionals who have experience working with North Carolina General Contractors. We’d be happy to recommend professionals for you to reach out to for any additional financial or tax-related guidance.
