Entity Formation

entity formation

Limit your liability and protect your personal assets by forming a Corporation or Limited Liability Company. Not only does a business entity have a separate legal existence from you personally, it signals to the world that you're serious and committed to your business venture. Forming the business entity should be one of your first tasks as a startup, before any contracts are signed.

Tom will file the necessary paperwork on your behalf to get the entity started, he'll create the internal documents you'll need to govern the entity and ensure compliance with corporate formalities, and he'll advise you on how to maintain the entity and mitigate risk.
