Hi mtnhermit
The legal and Tax implications of reorganizing your businesses is depwendent on many factors. First are all of the operations in one state. If so the legal liability and asset protection will follow the particular state regulations. To the extent the operations are in multiple states then consideration of various states may be required. Secondly, the present form or entity will have to be ascertained to determine the restructured entity. Third, the level of profitablility for each entity would have to be calculated to determine both at a federal and state level the most efficient manner to restructure. Your wanting to restructure makes sense from a legal and tax perspective however its a project requiring careful analysis. The answer is beyond the scope of this forum and requires you to retain a competent consultant to evaluate your businesses and restructure.
