This form is used to set up a business trust. A Business Trust is a form of business organization which is similar to a corporation, in which investors receive transferable certificates of beneficial interest.

Connecticut Business Trust is a legal entity established under Connecticut state law that allows businesses to operate under a specific trust structure. It is governed by Chapter 601a of the Connecticut General Statutes. A Connecticut Business Trust has characteristics of both an individual trust and a business entity, providing various benefits and flexibility to its participants. A Connecticut Business Trust can have different types depending on its purpose and structure. The most common types include: 1. Common Law Business Trust: This is the basic form of a Connecticut Business Trust, created under the principles of common law. It involves a trustee who holds legal title to the trust property and manages it for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries. 2. Statutory Business Trust: This type of Connecticut Business Trust is established under the Connecticut General Statutes.
