What is the minimum ownership percentage a chiropractor must have in a corporation with other professionals?

In California, the law stipulates that chiropractors must have a controlling interest in any professional corporation that they are a part of. This means that a chiropractor needs to own at least 51% of the corporation to fulfill the legal requirements for ownership and control. This ensures that chiropractors maintain a predominant influence over the decision-making processes of the practice, which aligns with the regulatory framework governing health care practices in the state. Having less than 51% ownership, such as 49% or any lower percentage, would not allow a chiropractor to control the corporation in accordance with California law. Therefore, the requirement for 51% ownership is key to ensuring that licensed chiropractors can provide their services within a legal and ethical framework that prioritizes professional autonomy and responsibility.
