Business Formation
From a legal perspective, forming a business entity is one of the first steps toward getting up and running. However, deciding what type of entity to form requires careful consideration of numerous issues, including judgment liability, tax liability, ownership and control, and transferability of shares. Certain types of business entities will better serve certain objectives, and forming an entity under the laws of the state where you intend to operate may or may not be the best option. Our attorneys can help you make strategic decisions so that your business entity does not unnecessarily restrict your ability to operate, obtain financing or sell your company down the line.
