Are you a business owner? Are you beginning to wonder what will happen to the company you love in the future? Are you also concerned about the here and now? It doesn’t matter if you’re in the process of starting a business or have been an owner for many years, there are benefits of business planning. Tip: it’s best to tackle planning when your company is in its infancy, as doing so allows you to get everything in order from day one. Here are some of the things to think about and questions to answer as you get started with business planning:

Which legal structure, such as an LLC or corporation, is best for your company?

What types of tax benefits are available to you? How do you take advantage of them?

Do you have contracts in place with your partners, employees, vendors, and anyone else who is integral to the well-being of your company?

Do you have a succession plan in mind?

What are your short and long-term business goals?

Are you familiar with any legal vulnerabilities that could haunt you in the future?

It’s easy to get so excited about launching or growing your company that you overlook the importance of business planning. Rather than make this mistake, slow down and get everything in order right now. Even though it’ll take some time, money, and other resources to figure everything out and answer the key questions above, it’s well worth it in the long run. You’ll feel much better about the current and future well-being of your company. Do you have questions or concerns about business planning? Are you hoping to get on the right track sooner rather than later? If so, contact us to discuss your situation, learn more about our services, and take a step in the right direction.

Estate Planning attorneys are sometimes criticized for offering needlessly complex, 'canned' solutions. This never has been the case with Kevin. The documents he created were comprehensive when appropriate and surprisingly simple when suitable. In every case, they were individually crafted to meet our unique needs.
