Start and Stop your Business on the Right Foot
Entrepreneurs and business owners often don’t know where to start when it comes to building and planning for what happens with their business down the road. That’s understandable.
Business owners wear many hats, but a lawyer does not need to be one of them.
We can help you decide what type of business works best for you.
Maybe you should be a solo practitioner. Or, maybe there are benefits to creating a corporation. We’ll listen to your story and help you decide what works!
Our relationship doesn’t stop there. We want your business to go the distance.
Because one day, you will no longer be running the business – sometimes by choice, sometimes not. Sadly, many business owners don’t have a plan for when that time comes.
We will help you decide what the future should look like for your business. Sometimes that means we’ll include your business in a trust. Other times that means writing an operating agreement or a buy-sell agreement.
Together we’ll discuss all the options and put the best plan in place for you and your business.

Your business should go the distance.
Secure the future of your business
Succession Planning for Businesses
Have you considered what would happen to your business if you died or became disabled?
Businesses are complex, so there’s not always a simple answer.
If you have partners, sometimes the business will go to them. It’s possible your children may want to carry on the business. Or, without a plan, the business may simply be sold or closed down.
If you want more control over the future of the business you have put so much time into building, then you need to consider succession planning. From solo to corporate, we can guide you.
Make a plan for the unexpected. Don’t let death, separation from business partners, disability, or other crises, ruin what you’ve built. Contact us at (989) 567-2100 to get started today.
