Failure to properly form your business is like taking a wrong turn at the first intersection on a 1,000 mile road trip. These days it’s easier than ever to create a legal entity, but the ability to complete a one-page form on a government website is not what proper formation means. I advise you on questions and assist with steps such as:
- The Basics – Completion of the bare bones of business formation: organizational document filing with the government, registered agent service, and federal Employer Identification Number
- Choice of Entity Structure – The implications for owner liability, tax treatment, management and control, governance requirements, and other important matters based on the choice of entity
- Choice of Jurisdiction – Whether you should form a company in your home state, Delaware, Nevada, or somewhere else; registration in states other than where you form the company
- Licenses – Licenses required at the state and local level for your type of business
- Equity – Documents to properly grant equity to the founders / owners and early team members to avoid future issues, such as fundraising or sale of the company; use of stock, options, phantom equity, or another type of equity
- New Team Member Onboarding – Adding a co-founder, employee, consultant, or advisor to your team, while complying with labor and securities laws, avoiding intellectual property disputes, and protecting your company’s interests
Fixed Fees for Business Formation
I offer fixed fee packages based on the number of owners involved, type of legal structure, and variety of documents needed. After we discuss the details, I provide the fixed fee quote before we begin your project. Fixed fee quotes do not include third-party expenses, such as government filing fees, registered agent fees, or business license fees and taxes.
