Business Formation

Starting a business can be a lot of work and, at times, seem overwhelming to the would-be entrepreneur. If you know what sort of business entity you are interested in, we can skip the initial discussions and I can help you file the paperwork necessary to protect you and your new business. Or, if you would prefer, I can take the time to go through your options and help you identify the structure that makes the most sense for you.

Services Offered

I help clients throughout California with DBA ("Doing Business As") filing for sole proprietors, Partnership Agreements, Limited-Liability Partnership Agreements and filings, LLC ("Limited Liability Company") agreements, corporations, and small-business consultations.

Remember that choosing a business structure is an important decision that will have significant implications for your business. Spending the time and money to prepare adequate plans today can help to avoid costly problems down the road. I would be happy to set up an appointment to discuss your plans and how I may be able to help.
