Business Law · Formation

Start your business on the right legal footing

The structure you choose affects your liability, taxes and ability to raise money or sell. We help you choose it, set it up and document it properly.

When to call us

Changing structure later is possible but often costly. Starting right is simpler.

I am starting a business

We help you choose a structure and complete the filings.

I have partners

We set out who owns what and how decisions get made, in writing.

I operate as a sole proprietor

We discuss whether forming an entity makes sense for you.

I want to restructure

Adding owners, investors or a holding company for property or operations.

What we do

  • Choosing between LLC, S corporation, C corporation and other structures
  • Filing formation documents and registrations
  • Operating agreements and bylaws
  • Ownership and partner agreements

How it works

Typical steps: about 1–2 weeks once we have your information.

  1. STEP 1

    Discuss

    We learn about the business, owners and goals.

  2. STEP 2

    Recommend

    We compare the options, with your accountant where tax matters.

  3. STEP 3

    Form

    We file and prepare the governing documents.

  4. STEP 4

    Launch

    We explain ongoing obligations to keep the entity in good standing.

How we charge

We work on a flat-fee basis and quote the fee in writing before work begins, so you know the cost up front. Government and filing fees are separate.

Common questions

General information, not legal advice for your situation.

Which is better, an LLC or a corporation?

Neither is better for everyone. It depends on ownership, taxes, investors and how you plan to run and eventually exit the business.

Do I need an operating agreement?

Yes, especially with more than one owner. It sets ownership, decisions and exit terms before disagreements arise.

Can you help with ongoing compliance?

Yes. We help with annual filings and keeping your company records current.
