It may appear that forming a business is as simple as plugging names and dates into business forms. Most people starting a business are concerned not only with tax issues, but also with potential liability for business operations and potential sale of the business. We will help you choose from the many forms your business can take and will advise you regarding the advantages and disadvantages of limited liability companies, partnerships and corporations.
After you have determined what form of entity is the best for you and your business, we will prepare and discuss with you all documents necessary to create the entity that you determine is best for you and will prepare and file organizing documents with the Virginia State Corporation Commission as required. Once your business is organized, we will draft the bylaws, operating agreement or partnership agreement needed for operating the business. At each stage, we will consult with you and advise you of the choices available to you.
If there is more than one person involved in your business, we will advise on issues of business continuity and exit strategies for the members, partners or shareholders. A buy-sell agreement can be an important business and estate planning tool and we will advise you regarding the various types of buy-sell agreements and the advantages and possible disadvantages of each.
We pride ourselves on maintaining client relationships for the long term. As an example, we recently completed a multi-million dollar sale of a company that we organized as a one-person business twenty-five years ago.
