Are you planning to start your own business, either by yourself or with others? If so, choosing the wrong structure for your business could be disastrous and potentially leave you exposed to liability.

Don’t listen to those legal commercials that claim how easy it is to start a company. Our attorneys can explain tax strategies to you, and help you figure out the best form of a company to protect you and your investors from liability.

Do you need help officially starting your business?

You definitely need an attorney from Behrend & Ernsberger, P.C. to launch your business on the safest legal footing.

Understanding the tax consequences, operating procedures, and even the selection of your company name can be very difficult.

Our attorneys can explain tax strategies to you, figure out the best form of a company to protect you and your investors from liability, and even search to make sure that no one else has already registered your corporate name.

The lawyers at Behrend & Ernsberger, P.C. can help you set up your business or non-profit organization.

We have the necessary experience and skill to help you avoid the potential traps of incorporation.

We will help you from start to finish. We will help you select the form of your business, draft the incorporating or registration documents, draft the bylaws or operating agreement, explain the tax structure, and discuss ways that your new business may face liability. 

Once your business has been created, we can also assist you with issues like creating a fictitious name, holding annual meetings, and contract formation. Call us at 412.391.2515 today to get started!
