Small Business
For a low flat fee, our business lawyers get you into business fast, the right way. We can handle all the consultation, drafting and filing necessary to form your entity correctly. Our business attorney formation services include in-depth one-on-one consultation, drafting and filing your articles, drafting shareholder agreements, bylaws, operating agreement, share certificates, and our care and feeding memo to help in your first several months of new operations. As your incorporation lawyers, we can handle:
- Incorporation, s-corp and c-corp, fully customized bylaws
- LLC's: LLC formation and operating agreements
- Partnerships, Limited Partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships
- Taxpayer ID and TIN numbers
- IRS Sub-S elections IRS Form 2553
- IRS Entity Classification elections IRS Form 8832
- Buy Sell Agreements
- Shareholder agreements
- Corporate Minutes Templates and Shareholder Notices
- Share certificates with fully customized legends (not forms!)
Always use a Business Lawyer! This is a dangerous, complex area of Business Law.
It is all confusing. Which entity to choose? LLC or Corporation? Which tax status? Sub-S? LLC with an 8832? How do you document percent ownership among partners? Who has decision-making power, voting rights? Who gets what in dissolution? What about taxes? It is critical to have a business lawyer advise you specifically on each topic, after taking into account your exact legal and tax position.
Be Smart: Don't fall for cheap incorporation sites or self-filing.
Cheap "self-help" incorporation and LLC formation sites ignore most of your detailed circumstances and can easily result in not only loss of limited liability, but securities fraud and breach of fiduciary duty litigation. Keep in mind, most of our litigation business comes from people who mishandled their own incorporation or LLC formation and mis-drafted their own shareholder and partnership agreements. Limiting your liability and correctly structuring your business can be the most important step you take in your life. A misstep is disaster, regardless of how well your business initially does. Keep in mind, most businesses will not survive even a single well-aimed lawsuit if they are improperly structured, and the devil is in the details. Always use a business attorney to handle your entity formation, incorporation or LLC setup. No business is too small, and no business step is more important to get right.
