Business Formation Services

Starting a new business is an exciting event and one of the most important decisions that you need to make as a business owner is what form your business is going to take. This depends on many issues – your industry, your risk tolerance, your future plans for the business, and so forth. We can help you decide what business form is right for you and, regardless of the form chosen, whether it is a partnership, an S-corporation or C-corporation, an LLC or something else, we can arrange it, affordably.

Of paramount importance in your new business is making sure that your agreement with your business’ co-owners is in writing. Many problems down the road can be avoided by having a clear and complete understanding with your business partners, and one which is written down and signed by all parties to the agreement. By taking the time to speak with an experienced business attorney and having that attorney draft your business agreement in the clearest possible terms, you and your business partners can work out the issues in advance where your interests in the business diverge.

Buying or Selling a Business

Many issues arise from the sale or purchase of a business. Business assets and liabilities need to be evaluated, contracts need to be revised, reassigned or renegotiated, leases need to be reviewed, transferred or renegotiated, liens need to be taken care of. Sometimes there are employment, back taxes, and insurance issues. You should have a lawyer to help you with a transaction like this to be sure that your interests are protected at every step of the transfer of the business.
