Most small businesses choose to operate within a recognized business entity as opposed to a sole proprietorship or partnership. Benefits to performing business functions through an entity include minimizing personal liability, flow through taxation, some degree of anonymity, greater asset protection, and business credibility.

The use of non-compete agreements has primarily been reserved for executives in previous years; however, today these restrictive agreements are used by companies across a broad range of organizational hierarchies.

Most entities with multiple owners will desire to have an agreement put in place that memorializes the structure and operations of the business. The most common agreements include shareholder agreements (for corporations), member agreements (for limited liability companies) and partnership agreements.

A sale or purchase of a business usually involves a purchase-sale contract, a due-diligence period, and a closing. While the heart of the transaction is governed by the purchase-sale agreement, other documents used in the sale might include deeds for real property, or bill of sale.
