Pennsylvania Business Formation Lawyers
Choice of entity is a crucial first step for business startups. The right decision can pave the way for a successful venture. The wrong decision can cause unnecessary challenges along the way and choke off the development, success, and future funding of your business. At Miller, Poole & Lord, LLP, we begin the process by getting to know our client. We learn about the business and its products or services. We learn about goals. With this information, we then provide guidance regarding business formation.
With more than 30 years of experience, our lawyers understand the importance of thorough analysis. We will not rush headlong down any path. We take great care to provide guidance that is customized to the needs of each business we represent. Contact us to begin the process of choosing a business entity.
There are primarily two main issues when it comes to business formation. The first is the choice of legal entity for management and liability purposes. The second is the choice of entity for tax purposes. We are prepared to review the advantages and disadvantages of each clients' options in order to see that our clients have the information necessary to make the correct decision for their business. This includes discussions about management and tax provisions, as well as buy-sell and non-compete issues.
After we have decided on the entity that is best suited to your goals, we will prepare and file all the required documents to form your business. Some of the documents we regularly draft include Operating Agreements for LLC's, Shareholder Agreements for Corporations, Partnership Agreements, and Joint Venture Agreements.
Whether a client has already selected a business entity, or whether an in-depth review of options is necessary, our attorneys will inform your decision making process regarding:
- Limited liability companies (LLC)
- Limited liability partnerships (LLP)
- C corporations
- S corporations
- Partnerships
- Professional corporations (PC)
- General partnerships
Establishing Special Purpose Business Entities
In addition to providing guidance to new business enterprises, we can also assist existing businesses in York and Adams Counties and the surrounding parts of the state. If a business wants to acquire another business or real estate, we can help with the creation of special purpose entities to limit liability and offer tax benefits to the owner.
