launch your business - the right way

with the Startup Package

Structuring your business properly provides many benefits:
  • ​Limit Your Liability - Creating a business entity (Corporation or LLC) establishes legal separation between you and your company, protecting your personal assets from business creditors.
  • Protect You from Claims - A clear and concise service agreement for use with your clients will place you in a position of strength and help manage client expectations, thus reducing the likelihood of an adverse claim by a client. If a claim does occur, you will be protected by a contract that was custom drafted for you.
  • Establish Credibility and Authority - You appear more credible, established and trustworthy when your name ends with "LLC" and your trademarked branding contains the ® designation. This helps attract clients, employees, partners, lenders and investors. 
  • Reduce Stress - Take comfort knowing your company is properly set up to limit your liability, you have a solid contract in place and your intellectual property is protected. Focus on growing of your business instead of legal problems. 
  • Create Free Time to Grow Your Business - Don't waste time researching how to be your own legal counsel. Having the legal infrastructure put in place for you gives you time to stay in your zone of genius. 
  • Minimize Tax Liability - Your company can be structured to minimize your personal tax liability.
