Common questions about Business Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Do I need a lawyer to start a small business in Arizona?
For the simplest entity formation (single-member LLC, no investors, no real estate, no employees), you can file with the Arizona Corporation Commission yourself. For anything with multiple founders, outside investors, intellectual property, real estate, employees, or industry-specific licensing, an attorney's review of structure, operating agreement, and contracts pays for itself many times over by avoiding costly disputes later.
What does the Arizona Corporation Commission regulate?
The ACC under Article XV of the Arizona Constitution regulates incorporated entities (filings, annual reports), public utilities and pipelines, securities offerings, and railroad and utility safety. Business entity matters include filing Articles of Incorporation/Organization, accepting service of process, and maintaining the public corporate registry.
What's the difference between an LLC and a corporation in Arizona?
An LLC under ARS Title 29 (Arizona Limited Liability Company Act) offers liability protection with pass-through tax treatment by default and minimal corporate formalities. A corporation under ARS Title 10 has shareholders, directors, and officers, requires annual meetings and minutes, and is taxed as a separate entity (C-corp) unless an S-election is made. LLCs are generally preferred for small businesses; corporations are preferred when raising venture capital.
