Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Sarah started her business dream
She faced a choice that's not what it seems
Sole proprietorship means she's on the line
For every debt and every fine
Her personal assets at risk each day
There's got to be a better way

[Chorus]
L-L-C protects your personal wealth
Corporation stands apart by itself
Limited partners, general too
Partnership splits the liability through
Entity types, authority flows
Piercing the veil is what nobody knows
Structure smart, protect your heart
That's where good business law starts

[Verse 2]
Limited Liability Company's the shield
Personal assets it helps you wield
But remember the formalities count
Keep records clean or the court will mount
A case to pierce right through your guard
When corporate veils get hit real hard

[Chorus]
L-L-C protects your personal wealth
Corporation stands apart by itself
Limited partners, general too
Partnership splits the liability through
Entity types, authority flows
Piercing the veil is what nobody knows
Structure smart, protect your heart
That's where good business law starts

[Verse 3]
Authority matters in every deal
Who can sign and make it real
Actual authority clearly defined
Apparent authority tricks the mind
Third parties trust what they can see
Ultra vires means no capacity

[Bridge]
S-Corp passes taxes through
C-Corp pays them times two
Double taxation's the corporate curse
But limited liability's much worse
To lose when you don't follow rules
Don't be one of those business fools

[Chorus]
L-L-C protects your personal wealth
Corporation stands apart by itself
Limited partners, general too
Partnership splits the liability through
Entity types, authority flows
Piercing the veil is what nobody knows
Structure smart, protect your heart
That's where good business law starts

[Outro]
Choose your structure, know the game
Legal protection's worth the name
From sole proprietor to corporate crown
Pick the right one, don't fall down
