Bouchoux offers comprehensive overview of business organizations, presented in a student-friendly format Business Organizations for Paralegals covers of all the various types of business organizations and provides a basic and thorough understanding without overwhelming students. Each business entity is discussed using a logical “life cycle” approach: from its formation, to its advantages and disadvantages, to its operation, to its dissolution, and to its tax consequences.

The newest forms of business entities, the limited liability partnership and limited liability company, are also discussed. The text concludes with “other” forms of corporations, such as nonprofit and professional corporations.
