Business Formation — Helping You Get a Good Start
Business Law Solutions from an Experienced Annapolis, Maryland, Attorney
The most important stage of any business is, perhaps, its formation. As a business owner, the decisions you make about business entity selection and formation will affect operations, budgeting, taxation issues and other business elements for the life of your business. At the Law Offices of Merrill, Cruttenden & Collinson, P.A., we have the knowledge of business law as well as valuable corporate experience — from the inside — to provide our clients with exemplary business law representation.
Business Entity Selection
At the Law Offices of Merrill, Cruttenden & Collinson, we provide business owners and entrepreneurs with experienced advice on business entity selection. Whether you are a sole proprietor looking to limit your liability, or a family-owned business planning to incorporate, we can advise you on a business entity that will further your business model including:
- Partnerships
- Corporations (S-corp and C-corp)
- Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
- Nonprofit tax-exempt organizations
Business Formation — Preparation, Information and Counsel
Once you have chosen the business entity that will meet the needs of your business, we will help you prepare the necessary documents to get your business off to the right start. We know the necessary documents that you must prepare and file including, in some cases, articles, bylaws, operating agreements or partnership agreements, IRS applications for tax-exempt status, S-corp designations and applications to other taxing authorities.
More importantly, after your business is formed, we counsel on capital needed for start-up and continuing business operations. We may have contact with you on a daily basis if that is what you need to ensure the health of your business.
