Business Planning

The selection of the most appropriate business entity and how that entity will be taxed plays a significant role in the future success and viability of the business.

Entity Selection

One of the most vital decisions a person can make regarding their business is what form of business entity to select. The utilization of the right entity can dramatically affect the business’ success. We focus on which business entity can successfully protect a clients business and personal assets. In addition, we help clients determine whether they want their entity to be taxed as a C-Corporation, S-Corporation, Partnership or disregarded entity. We review with the clients their tax options and coordinate these decisions with the client’s accountant.
