Starting a Small Business
I take pride in being known in the local community as a knowledgeable real estate attorney and trusted advisor to small business owners. Although I am happy to help clients who are starting a small business, my ultimate goal is to establish a long-term business relationship with each client I serve. My firm's focus on personal attention and client satisfaction is integral to my philosophy of establishing enduring client relationships through trust and delivered results.
Our business relationship begins when you contact my Wilmington, North Carolina, office for a consultation. At your initial consultation, my legal assistant and I will take the time to learn about your goals and aspirations for your business. We will ask the right questions to determine what form of business entity is right for you. If you decide to move forward and retain our services, we can provide services essential to starting a small business. We will:
- Help you determine which business entity is best for you
- Discuss with you the concepts of asset protection for small business owners
- Discuss advantages and disadvantages of business entity formation and the importance of protecting your personal assets from debts or liabilities of a small business
- Gather and file the correct forms necessary to form your corporation, LLC, or other business entity
When your business has been formed, it is my hope that I will have helped build the foundation for a business relationship that will span the existence of your business. As your business changes, adapts, and grows over time, I will be ready to provide the legal advice and services you need.
