Business Organizations Attorney In St. Louis
Every business has to start somewhere, and when you are opening your doors, you need a legal partner to help you make the smart choices. I want to be the legal resource that will help you with setting your company on the early path to sustainable profitability. I’m attorney Susan Nell Rowe, and at my law firm, I offer both business formation and corporate governance and counsel services to my clients.
Business Formation With Rowe Law Office, LLC
Business structuring, or business formation, will set the tone for how you do business. There are many choices to make in this, and the right business legal entity to choose depends a lot on many factors, from industry to resources to liability. As your lawyer, I will walk you through the process to choose from the available business entities:
- Corporations: A corporation under Missouri law will have the greatest liability protection, but also considerable tax liability. These would be best for companies with lots of resources and a lot of need for liability protection
- LLCs: Limited liability companies are a popular form of corporate structure that provides strong liability protection, without as much regulatory oversight. These are popular choices for individual professional practices, such as dentists or accountants.
- Sole proprietorships and Partnerships: These structures may work in some situations, but they carry risk because individuals may be personally liable. It is a simple structure, but it does carry risk.
I cannot tell you what the right business structure for your company is, but I can offer guidance to help you determine what will make the most sense for you.
How Will You Do Business?
If formation is about starting your business, corporate governance will set the rules for the long-term, day-to-day operations. It can include operating agreements between you and your partners, it can also include employee handbooks and other important documents.
My job in corporate governance is to help you stay compliant and ahead of the curve when it comes to potential legal risks. I greatly enjoy helping people secure their dreams by creating a company structure that works now and in the long term.
