business formation & tax structuring

YOUR IDEAS ARE WORTH THE RISK, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO IT ALONE.

hELP WITH THE INS AND OUTS

Entrepreneurs have ideas — often, great ideas no one else has had before. But they don’t necessarily know how to safely bring those ideas to market, and that’s why they depend on the business formation attorneys at GENERAL COUNSEL US.

Starting a business takes courage. It’s a risk. Oftentimes it’s not just your money, but investors’ money that’s on the line as well. You want to be successful. You’ll stand a better chance at achieving that if you retain the services of a business formation lawyer.

You are the expert in your business, but you can’t expect to know all the ins and outs of business formation, especially if you have no experience in this area. We help our clients register their business, get a tax ID number, file the necessary permits, and obtain the correct licenses. We also help them decide if it would be most advantageous to operate as a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, C-corp, or S-corp.

BUSINESS FORMATION LAWYER FOR TAXES

An important part of setting up and operating any business is creating sustainable tax structures. This has to be done within the confines of the law to protect the business from violating IRS rules and regulations. A mistake in this area can be costly. Using an experienced business formation attorney is critical.

Likewise, however, it can also be costly to set up your tax structure in a way that doesn’t take advantage of all the available deductions. Tax structuring is complex, and the rules change constantly. You want to leverage all available advantages while complying with the ever-changing tax landscape.

We also help protect our clients from ownership disputes. We ensure your capitalization table is clean so that all percentages of ownership are clearly spelled out. We regularly update the equity of all owners, founders, and investors in the company.

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS FORMATION LAWYERS

A business formation lawyer can help your company formulate its book constructs and establish its entity structure with an eye toward growth. The team at GENERAL COUNSEL US will sit down with you to help determine your goals, including how long you intend to keep the company and your exit strategy for when you are ready to divest.

Additionally, we can show you how to operate more efficiently and safely, save money and protect your assets.

GENERAL COUNSEL US also helps business owners in different stages of tenure. For instance, there are steps you should begin taking today if you plan to sell your business down the road.

Whatever stage of the game you are in, our business formation attorneys can help you. We have the knowledge and experience to protect you from hidden legal risks. Turn over the legal concerns of your company’s operations to GENERAL COUNSEL US, and use your time to grow your business and change the world.
