Formation of LLCs, Corporations, and Other Business Entities in Missouri
When starting a business venture, it's important to protect yourself from potential liability from the results of the new enterprise. If the new business is sued or goes into debt, you would not want to put your personal assets at risk. Similarly, if you have an existing business, you would want to protect it from the results of the new venture.
At Checkett & Pauly, P.C., our lawyers are dedicated to protecting your interests from initial business formation through the lifetime of the organization and ultimate purchase and sale or dissolution. Our lawyers help clients set up all types of commercial entities in Missouri including:
- Sole proprietorships
- Partnerships
- Joint ventures
- S corporations
- C corporations
- Limited liability companies (LLCs)
- Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)
- Nonprofits
Business formation requires an assessment of your business goals and objectives, the desired tax treatment and the potential liability you face. In understanding your immediate and future goals, our lawyers can advise you on a choice of entity that offers you the greatest protection and tax advantages.
In addition to forming new business entities, our attorneys will:
- Draft appropriate documents for your business entity such as business incorporation documents, partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, and buy-sell agreements
- Advise you on steps you need to take to protect the corporate shield and work with your accountant to obtain favorable tax treatment
- Draft and review business contracts to prevent disputes before they arise
