Small Business Representation
When starting your own business, the first question to be considered is the type of entity that you will form. Will you be a sole proprietor? A corporation? A limited liability company? We can help you and with the assistance of your accountant, we can answer this question.

Generally, small businesses should not be run as sole proprietorships. If the business fails or is held liable in a law suit, the sole proprietor will be personally responsible. This means that if sued because of something that happens in your business life, your personal assets and home could be at risk. Forming a corporation or limited liability company can alleviate that risk. Formation of these entities requires certain filings with the state and federal governments which we can help you prepare. We can also assist in the creation of the corporate records, which must be maintained by all formal entities.
