Business Formation

Taking those first steps towards starting your own business can be daunting, confusing and sometimes overwhelming. But taking the right "first steps" can mean all the difference between short and long-term success and failure. The old saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" has never more true than when it comes to the early stages of business formation.

When asked why they want to form a business entity in the first place, many people respond by saying things like: "I want to protect myself and my family," or "I want to limit my personal liability or exposure," or "I want to make sure my rights are clear and responsibilities are limited." By the same token, many of those same people believe that protecting themselves, their family and their rights is merely a matter of filing the proper forms with the proper authorities.  However, making sure that you and your business receive all of the rights and protections the law affords is much more than just filing out some forms.
