Full life cycle business planning. From start-up to exit.
The decisions you make at the beginning of your business can have a major impact on the valuation of your business when it comes time to sell. That is why it is important to start with the end in mind. In fact, how you plan to exit your business should dictate how you operate your business, from the entity you choose to the contracts you create.
Not sure why you need to hire a lawyer to incorporate and structure your business? Here are a few reasons it’s important.
Limit Liability
Most types of business structure protect business owners from personal liability for business debts & legal actions, which limits your overall liability.
Create ownership structure
You can define who owns the company, ownership percentages, and other specifics for partners and executives.
Build credibility
Vendors, customers, and business partners will see your business as more credible when it’s been properly legally incorporated.
Tax Benefits
In most situations, incorporating an LLC or other corporation can provide new and unique tax breaks and benefits, such as deductions for business expenses.
