Do you want to create a company? Well, congratulations! Many are unaware that forming a company can offer great legal protections, shielding you from personal liability in civil claims against the new business. When creating a new company, there are several logistical aspects which must be addressed correctly, or your filing with the NYS Department of State can be bounced back for as little as a misspelling (costing you time and money). Due to New York’s strict policies and guidelines, it can become increasingly frustrating when attempting to go through the formation process alone. With our firm’s years of experience dealing with government agencies, we offer a path forward for both you and your new company to grow! Plus, as general practitioners, we are here to provide advice and guidance once your business is up and running. We like to think of ourselves as one stop shopping. 

 

​

The Corporate Formation Process:

 

In the State of New York, there are several business types to select from such as corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, and general partnerships. Because each formation has varying tax benefits, legal protections, pros, and cons, we can work with your accountant to better identify which formation best fits your business model. Our firm will also screen company names prior to submitting your application to avoid a denial. Furthermore, depending on the type of business formation, several other key tasks may also have to be performed such as drafting a business operating agreement, drafting company by-laws, organizing shareholder meetings, creating a board, etc. Rest assured, our firm can guide you through this maze. 

 

​

Our work does not stop there! Once the corporation has been formed, depending on the type of business, we can also assist clients with state licenses (i.e. liquor licensing, contractor licensing, etc.), contract drafting / contract disputes, consumer protection complaints, and much more. Our firm can truly get your company set up from start to finish. Please feel welcome to give us a call if you happen to be struggling with the government’s overly complicated process. Consultations are always FREE and our rates are very competitive. We are always happy to discuss your goals and

see how we can achieve them for you!
