Business Formation
When you hire us to help you set up a business, we will start by learning as much as we can about you and about your objectives. Next, we will help you understand the differences between the different business forms, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs), and corporations.
We will work closely with your CPA to provide entity selection advice that addresses the potential consequences of your various options. We will also make certain that you fully understand the potential liability with each type of entity.
Once we have determined the best business form to meet your objectives, we will prepare and file all documents necessary to establish your company in compliance with Missouri business laws. This includes:
- Articles of incorporation or organization
- By-laws
- Corporate resolutions
- Partnership agreements
- Tax registrations
