Common Questions
Business Owner FAQs
Q:What type of business entity should I form?
A:The best entity depends on liability protection needs, tax considerations, number of owners, and growth plans. Most small businesses choose LLCs for flexibility, while some benefit from S-Corp election for tax savings. We analyze your situation to recommend the optimal structure.
Q:When should I hire a business attorney?
A:Ideally, before you start your business. Having proper legal foundation from day one prevents costly problems later. However, it's never too late—we help established businesses restructure and protect themselves at any stage.
Q:What is outside general counsel?
A:Outside general counsel provides your business with ongoing legal support—contract review, employment matters, compliance guidance—without the expense of a full-time in-house attorney. You get expert guidance when you need it.
Q:How can I protect my personal assets from business liability?
A:Proper entity formation (LLC or corporation), maintaining corporate formalities, adequate insurance, and keeping business and personal finances separate are key. We create comprehensive asset protection plans tailored to your situation.
Q:Do I need a buy-sell agreement?
A:If you have business partners or plan to, absolutely. A buy-sell agreement protects everyone by establishing what happens if an owner dies, becomes disabled, wants to leave, or gets divorced. It's much easier to agree on terms when relationships are good.
Q:How do I plan for selling or transitioning my business?
A:Start planning 5-10 years before your target exit. This allows time to maximize value, groom successors, implement tax-efficient strategies, and ensure continuity. We help with exit strategies, valuations, and transition planning.
