ENTITY FORMATION & GOVERNANCE
Business Startup Planning Meeting
A strategic, founder-focused consultation designed to help you start on the right foot. We’ll talk through your business goals, risk tolerance, growth plans, and practical realities, then walk through the pros and cons of different entity structures. You’ll leave with clarity around how your business should be structured, what documents are required, and what steps come next — without feeling overwhelmed
Basic Entity Formation
This service is designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to formally launch their business with a solid legal foundation. We handle the formation of your LLC or corporation, including preparation and filing of all required state documents and core governance materials. For single-owner entities, this includes a tailored operating agreement or bylaws; for multi-owner entities, we also address ownership structure, management rights, and decision-making provisions to help align expectations from the outset. Throughout the process, you’ll receive attorney guidance, document review and revisions, and final confirmation once your entity is properly formed and ready to operate.

A streamlined alternative to in-person meetings, allowing owners or directors to approve company actions in writing. This option is ideal for busy founders who need to move quickly while still maintaining proper corporate governance.
