# Business/LLC Formations

How do you establish your business as a legal entity? What form of business will your business operate under? What are the advantages of establishing your company as one form of business as compared to another form? Many new business owners do not realize that South Carolina Statutes may govern how disputes will be handled, unless the appropriate documentation has been created.

Being a business owner can be rewarding and daunting at the same time. Establishing your business in the appropriate form is essential in South Carolina. One of the primary concerns for many new business owners is protection of their own personal assets.

At HDGC Law, we have experience handling business formations in York County, Chester County, Lancaster County and Fairfield County. Milton Hamilton and Nick Cotten of HDGC Law will help you chose the appropriate business form as well as, establish appropriate documents to help you reach your business goals.

In addition to giving you legal advice on the establishment of your business, Mr. Cotten will provide valuable business consultation to new business owners. Having formed and operated multiple businesses himself, Mr. Cotten has a heart for business owners. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Cotten can help you with contract negotiations, lease negotiation, operating agreements, limiting liability, risk management and other documentation needed to operate and run your business.
