Business and Corporate

Successful Business Future

When you start, there is so much to learn, and so much you don’t know.  There are a lot of opinions out there on how to start your business.  It can be time-consuming and expensive if you do something the wrong way.  What’s a sole proprietor? What’s a “DBA?”

It can be so confusing.

We take the guesswork out of everything.  We sit down with you and ensure we understand your goals and the type of business you want to create before we make our recommendation.  There is no “one size fits all” structure to a company.  Make sure you do it right the first time.

We Help Business Owners Build Their Businesses the Right Way the First Time

Sole Proprietor

Starting out as a sole proprietor can be a relatively easy way to find out if running a business is right for you.

Partnership

Being in business by yourself can be challenging; sometimes, you need someone with complementary skills to help you take your business to the next level. A partnership might be the right solution.  There are a lot of options; make sure you know the pros and cons and pick the right one.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

A limited liability company (LLC) can be a great way to start a business while protecting your personal assets from potential judgments.

Corporation

A corporation is a well-known business entity, that allows shareholders to limit their liability to just the amount invested in the corporation. This business entity is a little more structured but it offers some solid benefits if done correctly.

Registering a Foreign Entity

Thinking about starting a business outside of California because it is “cheaper?” Well, you might want to re-think that.  In California, you have to register as a foreign entity which means you’ll be subject to the exact costs as California businesses.

Do you have a non-California entity such as a Delaware, Nevada, or Wyoming corporation?  In California, if you plan on doing business or moving your headquarters here, you may have to register it as a foreign entity.

Contact us today to ensure you comply with California’s foreign entity laws.
