Business formation is much more than the creation of a few simple legal forms and a filing fee with the Secretary of State. Your business entity provides critical separation of your personal assets from the debts, liabilities and creditors of the business itself. The proper selection of an entity is informed by the nature of the business to be conducted, geographic coverage, and a long-term vision of how the company will grow and ultimately your exit strategy. Taxation issues should be given consideration, and accounting methods and systems should be approved and implemented.

The corporate documents should detail the roles of principle stakeholders, voting rights, profit distribution, and provide for future investment into the business. Corporate documents should also address critical life events for business owners including valuation of a business interest in the event of:

• Divorce
• Personal Bankruptcy
