Starting a Business? An Experienced Attorney Can Help.
If you are starting a business in Minnesota, one thing you need to consider is its legal status. An experienced business formation attorney can guide you through the process of setting up a business entity to maximize your benefits.
I'm Minneapolis attorney Lee Watson, and I have decades of experience forming legal entities for businesses and professional practices in Minnesota. Contact me to discuss how I can help you get started. I offer flat fees for business formation.
Helping You Choose and Set Up an Appropriate Business Entity
When you are starting a business or professional practice, it is important to limit your liability through formation of a business entity. This enables you to take the normal risks of doing business without exposing your personal finances and your family to those risks.
I have helped hundreds of business owners through the Minnesota entity formation process and can advise you on which entity is best for your purposes. Common entities include:
- C corporations
- Subchapter S corporations
- Limited liability companies (LLC)
- Limited liability partnerships (LLP) when and if appropriate
I will make sure your articles of incorporation and other materials are assembled properly and filed with the Secretary of State and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). I will also keep you updated on the regular renewals that are required after your business begins operating.
Providing Ongoing Legal Counsel to Business Owners
Filing the paperwork to establish a business entity is probably not the last time when you will need the assistance of a lawyer. Establishing a long-term relationship with an attorney you can trust can play a positive role as you build up your business.
Beyond business formation, I help clients with the drafting and negotiation of buy-sell, partnership, operating and other control agreements, as well as business contracts.
The services of an experienced litigation attorney can be invaluable while you are starting a business. I regularly see the consequences when business owners do not take the right steps early in the process. Contact me to make sure you are getting on the right track.
