Business Formation

The Start Up

You have put in the work, paid your dues, and now you are ready to start your own business! This process can be both rewarding and risky, but you can reduce the risk when you consult with an attorney to discuss business formation and operation. Our firm has assisted many first-time business owners, from small neighborhood corner stores to large financial institutions. As an owner, you have several forms for structuring your business. We can discuss at length the considerations for all business types, such as:

• Sole Proprietorships

• Corporations

• Professional Corporations (PCs)

• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

• Partnerships

• Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

Once you have decided on a business form, our firm can advise you on the management structure of your business using Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Management Agreements, and Employment Contracts.

Expansion and Sales

If your business is established, you may be ready to expand into new markets or locations. Alice G. Pinderhughes, P.A. can discuss the legal considerations for purchasing property, equipment, or inventory. We can also assist with business mergers and acquisitions, helping you to effectively manage the blend of two businesses into one.
