At Underberg & Kessler LLP, we have a team of attorneys experienced and skilled in not-for-profit formation and assisting the operations of not-for-profit businesses. NOT-FOR-PROFIT FORMATION & GOVERNANCE We believe not-for-profit businesses are critical to the community’s well-being. The formation and governance of not-for-profit businesses involve a myriad of decisions, many of which can have financial and operational ramifications. At Underberg & Kessler, we have a team of attorneys experienced in not-for-profit formation and ongoing governance issues and concerns. After reviewing the mission of your not-for-profit business, our attorneys in Rochester, Buffalo, Canandaigua, and Geneseo will help you complete its formation and guide you in setting up ongoing governance policies and procedures to accomplish its mission. You can contact us here and learn about not-for-profit formation and governance below: Formation Begins by Defining Your Mission & Governance Structure A not-for-profit business typically exists to better the community it operates in or to serve a specific group of people or cause. This mission needs to be defined in writing, especially if the organization plans to seek 501(c)(3) status and the benefits available to non-profit businesses. The founders also need to consider how the organization will be governed. The decision of whether or not the organization will be governed by a Board of Directors (BOD) or the organization's members has major implications to the organization’s operations. Most non-profits also have committees. The number of committees, types of committees and the authority these committees have also has to be decided upon. We observe many not-for-profit organizations utilize committee positions as method of vetting potential board members. There are rules that must be complied with by the Board of Directors and the organizations Committees. Our lawyers would be happy to discuss the options and help you determine which is most appropriate for your organization. What are the Benefits of 501 c3 Status? If your not-for-profit is classified as charitable, it may be eligible for 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code. There are many benefits to this, including but not limited to exemption from federal and state income tax on revenues generated from your mission-ralted activities, the ability of donors to take deductions on their federal and state income taxes for donations to your organization, exemption from payment of New York State sales tax, and possibly New York real property taxes. Applying for 501(c)(3) can be complicated. Our attorneys can assist you with this. If your not-for-profit is not eligible for 501(c)(3) status, there may be other ways to obtain exemption from federal income tax, though donations would not deductible as charitable contributions and New York sales tax exemption is not available. How Does One Achieve 501 c3 Status? The process is to file with the IRS on Form 1023 or, if eligible, make an online filing with the IRS on Form 1023-EZ. Your organization will need to provide information about its board of directors, officers and highest paid employees; if it conducts fundraising activities, what those consist of; and projected financials for the current and next few years, among other things. Copies of the organization’s formation documents (certificate of incorporation and bylaws) must be filed with the IRS as well. Not-for-Profits Need Ongoing “Corporate Housekeeping” In New York, the State Attorney General has jurisdiction over many kinds of business transactions that a not-for-profit business may engage in. A few examples are the sale or lease of all or substantially all of the organization’s assets or the merger of the organization into another. In addition, in New York, depending on the amount of annual revenues of the organization, it may need to make filings with the Charities Bureau in addition to filing with the IRS on a Form 990 or 990-EZ. There are many governance requirements under New York law that come into play as a not-for-profit grows, and the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law is amended from time to time. We can help you keep your organization in compliance with these laws and regulations. Not-For-Profit Formation & Operation Experience Our Experience in Western, NY and Beyond Represented a secular school in Kenya in the establishment of a not-for-profit corporation, including the applicable governance and its application for tax-exempt status. Represented many organizations in obtaining exemption as 501(c)(3) organizations, including schools, charitable organizations, cultural organizations and organizations fostering national amateur sports competitions. Represented the board of directors of a financially troubled education corporation in connection with an investigation by the New York Attorney General of potential criminal fraud by management and the subsequent dissolution of the corporation by the New York Attorney General. Formed a local performing arts company as a not-for-profit corporation, and prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service an application for exemption under the Internal Revenue Code under section 501(c)(3). Represented a large not-for-profit senior living facility in its successful application to a town for exemption from real property taxation.

Forming a business? Underberg & Kessler's experienced business formation lawyers will guide you through the formation process from start to finish. BUSINESS FORMATION Forming a new business can be an arduous task. At Underberg & Kessler, we have a team of attorneys experienced in formations that are genuinely excited to help you formalize your business and bring your great product or service to market. There are many considerations in choosing the type of entity best suited for your business. Our attorneys will guide you throughout the entire process starting with an entity selection consultation and will complete and file the appropriate formation documents and draft organizational documents for your records. Our lawyers offer assistance and guidance with the following entity types: Sole Proprietorship What is a sole proprietorship? A sole proprietorship is a business entity where one person owns and runs the business. There is no legal distinction between the individual whom owns and runs the business and the business itself. This means all assets, liabilities, debts, profits and losses the business accrues are all the responsibility of the individual who runs and owns the business. A sole proprietor may hire employees. A sole proprietorship offers it's owner pass-through taxation, which means income derived from a sole proprietorship is treated as income of the owner for tax purposes. Financial and tax accounting is simpler for a sole proprietor, but the risk of personal liability is imposed on the sole proprietor. Contact us here to find out if a sole proprietorship is right for your business! Limited Liability Companies (LLC) What is a limited liability company (LLC)? A limited liability company or LLC is a business entity type that provides limited liability and great flexibility to its owners. It can be used to provide the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. Also, depending on the situation, LLCs may choose to use Subchapter C or S corporate tax rules or partnership or sole proprietorship flow-through tax treatment. An LLC provides its owners with limited liability. Any debts or lawsuit damages of the business are restricted to the business, and not its owners or investors. Contact us here to find out if a limited liability company is right for your business! Corporations What is a corporation? Corporations are organizations created by and recognized in law, to act as a business entity separate from its owners. Corporations have the ability to issue stock in multiple classes and series. Corporations are formed by filing with the government and must identify a person or business designated to receive legal service of process on behalf of the entity. Corporations, offer their owners limited liability due to the separation of the business from the individual owners. Every corporation begins life separately taxed as a C corporation. Qualifying corporations and their shareholders may elect flow through tax treatment under Subchapter S of the Tax Code. A separate type of entity, the not-for profit corporation, can be established and qualified as a tax free entity. Contact us here to find out if a corporation is right for your business! Partnership What is a business partnership? A business partnership can take on many different forms. The three legally recognized New York forms a partnership can take are: General Partnership All partners participate in the management of the business and are jointly and severally personally liable for all of it's debts, liabilities and obligations. It is best practice to have a written partnership agreement, but none is required by New York State law. Limited Partnership (LP) Limited partnerships operate much like a general partnership, and are required to have a written partnership agreement. General partners are jointly and severally personally liable for partnership debts, liabilities and obligation, but limited partners, who concede the right to manage the business, are shielded from personal liability. Limited Liability Partnership This is a formation option available only to licensed professionals, which enables a degree of limited liability to all partners, but the partners remain liable for their individual acts of malpractice. There are numerous other nuances to be aware of in order to make the best formation decision for your business. Partners can have different compensation and involvement levels. There can be salaried partners, equity partners and silent partners. Salaried partners have no ownership interest in the business as equity partners do. Individuals can form a partnership and businesses can as well. Contact us here to find out if a partnership is right for your business! Benefit Corporation What is a benefit corporation? Benefit corporations result from the current wave of social entrepreneurship. A benefit corporation is formed to provide a general public benefit or a specific public benefit. General public benefit is a material positive impact on society and the environment, taken as a whole, assessed against a third-party standard, from the business and operations of the benefit corporation. If you hear talk of a “B corporation” that refers to the third-party standards organization, B Lab Company ( www.bcorporation.net ). Specific public benefit, as set forth in the certificate of incorporation, can include promoting economic opportunity, improving health or promoting arts and sciences or the environment. In most ways, a benefit corporation is the same as a regular business corporation. However, the standards of conduct for directors and officers of a benefit corporation differ from those that apply to directors and officers of a New York business corporation. The benefit corporation statute incorporates an enumeration of factors that the directors and officers must consider and others they are permitted to consider in making business decisions, most of which do not include maximizing profits of the business or return to its shareholders. Contact us here to find out if a benefit corporation is right for your business! Professional Entities What is a professional entity? Licensed professionals (attorneys, accountants, engineers, physicians, and the like) who wish to practice their profession in entity form may not do so through a regular business corporation or LLC. These professional who wish to obtain some of the liability shield of an entity may choose from four New York forms: limited liability partnership, professional corporation, professional limited liability company and, solely for architects and engineers, a design professional corporation. Note that none of these entities can shield an individual practitioner from his or her own acts of malpractice. For more information on professional entities click here . Business Formation Experience Our Experience in Western, NY and Beyond Represented numerous start-up businesses in the selection of the appropriate form of business entity, organization of that entity, counseling on day-to-day operational issues and drafting of routine business documents. Advised independent veterinarian on whether formation of entity was necessary based on structure of services agreement, whether there would be employees and extent of insurance coverage. Represented digital marketing company in formation of limited liability company and drafting of related service and non-disclosure agreements.
