An LLC offers liability protection with simpler management and pass-through taxation; a corporation offers stronger structures for raising investment and issuing stock but comes with more formal requirements (board, bylaws, shareholder meetings) and potential double taxation.

At formation, before signing major contracts, when raising investment, during mergers or acquisitions, and any time you're facing a dispute or regulatory issue. Waiting until a problem arises is usually more expensive than proactive legal guidance.

It's a contract restricting an employee or business partner from competing with the company for a period of time after leaving. Enforceability varies widely by state — some states heavily restrict or ban them entirely, so it depends on where you're located.

Generally involves a formal vote by owners/shareholders, filing dissolution paperwork with the state, settling debts and obligations, and distributing remaining assets. Skipping proper dissolution can leave owners personally exposed to future claims.
