Business Formation: Entity Selection

Laws govern the different ways in which business organizations may be formed and structured. Your particular goals and business circumstances will help determine whether you should form a sole proprietorship, C-corp, S-corp, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP), limited liability corporation (LLC) or nonprofit. Kaplan & Cruz, PLLC, is well-qualified to help you select and implement the most favorable entity, with a clear understanding of relevant tax laws and how they can be best applied to your business’s advantage.

Shareholder Agreements, LP Agreements And LLC Operating Agreements

It is characteristic in a business startup to have shareholder agreements, LP agreements, and LLC operating agreements to regulate the control and management of a newly formed company. Kaplan & Cruz, PLLC, can help you and your business create these agreements that will govern how the business is operated.

Business Formation And A Plan For Success

Position your new company to grow as quickly and as much as you are prepared to support through business funding, hiring, commercial real estate leasing, and other activities that will support your business incorporation decisions.

Mergers And Acquisitions As Growth Vehicles

Discuss with an astute Dallas business lawyer whether proposed mergers and acquisitions are a wise direction to follow in the case of your new or growing business. Consider all aspects of your proposed actions in terms of employment agreements, utility licenses, sales, software needs, manufacturing capacity, contracts, collections, and business debt.
