You’re ready to start your new business, the next step is to begin completing the paperwork.

That’s where we can help. We have experience working with small and mid-sized business owners in the Pittsburgh area. We will guide you through the legal requirements and evaluate which option will work best for your business and goals.
Selecting a Legal Entity During New Business Formation
Starting a new business involves more than completing paperwork. You want to protect your business from certain legal and tax liabilities. The first step towards business formation is determining the type of legal entity for your business. To make the best decision, we will help you with:
- Developing business objectives
- Financial decisions
- Investments needed
- Ongoing compliance requirements
- Working with individuals who will be involved with the business
Additional Decisions to Consider During New Business Formation
Selecting a business entity is only the start when forming your new business. Did you know that every decision you make impacts taxes and exposure to personal liability? Here are other additional components we can help you review and evaluate.
Business Legal Structure
To determine the legal structure for the business, we’ll help you determine which option is best for you.
- Limited liability company (LLC)
- General or limited partnerships
- Sole proprietorship
- Subchapter C corporation
- Subchapter S corporation
By-Laws and Operating Agreements
Not fully considering and determining how you’re going to conduct business can nullify your tax status and even abruptly stop your business plans.
Buy/Sell Agreements
These documents help protect your business during unexpected events (death, divorce, bankruptcy, etc.) and bring on additional financing.
Business Succession Planning
Although this may appear to be a long way off, a successful plan can be prepared early and adjusted as needed. The purpose of this plan is to set up proper expectations between you and the company board with the next generation.
