Business Formation and Incorporation Services
New business owners are frequently tempted to tackle the process of business formation themselves, or with minimal assistance from an "incorporation services company" — a business that offers low-cost assistance with the procedures involved in business formation.
The advantage of selecting a full-service commercial law firm to guide you through the process of business formation is that you will have confidence that your selection of business entity best matches your business plans and potentially contains the optimal tax and financial advantages. Working with a law firm can also be critical to obtaining financing and loans from banks and investors. Often, lenders and investors require a level of legal assurance only a law firm can offer. Furthermore, you will have begun a relationship with a law firm that will last throughout the life of your business. Also, working with a law firm will protect your precise economic interests, particularly if you are using an LLC structure or forming a partnership, and makes satisfying the assurance requirements often needed by banks and other lenders before releasing loans for your investments.
