Is there anything more exciting than starting your own business – and bringing your ideas to fruition? Your mind is bursting with concrete ways to make the world a better place.
But slow down, partner. Business formation is a pivotal time in your new company’s lifecycle. Your choice of entity impacts ownership, liability, taxes, profit sharing, ongoing management, eventual sale, and much, much more. Codispoti Law can help you make the ideal choice.
For example, is a general partnership the right move for a co-founded organization? What about dispensing with corporate structure, and making this a sole proprietorship? What state do you want to incorporate in? When do you need a founder’s agreement? Looking to do some good in the world – should you file a 501(c)(3) non-profit or a certified benefit corporation? And what do you need to do to maintain the entity you chose?
Codispoti Law can answer all of these questions, walking you gently through the advantages of each entity type – and bringing this crucial decision to life. We can help you with ongoing entity management, too.
Once that’s in place, I can guide you through active management. This includes drafting employment agreements and client / vendor contracts and choosing proper terms of use. Down the line, I’ll help you navigate the rough waters of investments and acquisitions – and advise you as you prepare for a decisive exit. Practice areas include:
"I raise up my voice—not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results."
"Diversity: the art of thinking independently together."
