Corporate/Legal Entity Formation

When starting a new business venture, it is extremely important for you to do everything possible to ensure lasting success. Accordingly, a small or large business start-up must begin by selecting the operating entity that is best suited to meet your unique needs.

The form of business entity most advantageous in a particular situation depends on the objectives of the business for which the entity is being organized. In most situations, the focus will be on how the entity and its owners will be taxed and the extent to which the entity will shield the owners of the business from liabilities arising out of its activities.

Our attorneys will carefully explain the options for structuring your new business. Each type of corporate  entity has specific financial, liability and tax implications associated with it. Our attorneys will walk you through the steps of choosing the entity that is best suited for your particular business.

We can assist you in drafting  the necessary forms and paperwork to ensure your entity serves its desired purpose, such as:

• Corporate Minutes
• Annual Reports
• Initial Reports
• Shareholder Agreements
• Joint Venture Agreement
• Partnership Agreement
• Registered Agent Services
• Corporate Supplies
• Amendments
• Bylaws and Resolutions
