Formation & Financing

 

Choosing the right type of business entity is among the most important choices made when a new business is established. The right type of entity makes attracting capital, talent and customers a more attractive proposition as well as provides the flexibility necessary to grow.

 

Insufficient capital is the reason the vast majority of all businesses fail within the first year. Lack of a formal structure to ensure outside investors and creditors of their rights is the principle reason most companies fail to attract sufficient capital. Choosing a form of entity and a friendly jurisdiction are critical to establishing a successful business.

 

 

Buy/Sell Agreements

 

When your business flourishes and new partners or shareholders are necessary, a strong buy/sell agreement ensures your new growth is stable. Unforeseen changes including death, divorce and bankruptcy can easily imperil a firm.  Avoid the uncertainty and disruption of litigation with the protection your venture deserves.
