Formation is the first step.
The right documents build the foundation beneath it.
Entity Formation
Formation is more than filing paperwork. I form LLCs and Corporations. I check name availability, prepare and file the Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation with the California Secretary of State, and help you choose a structure that fits how the business will be owned, managed, and taxed, and where it is going next.
Governing Documents
Formation gets the business on the books. These documents establish the rules behind it. I prepare operating agreements and bylaws that define who owns the business, who has authority to act for it, how decisions are made, how profits are distributed, and how ownership can change. I also prepare organizational consents, resolutions, partnership agreements, and amendments as the business grows and the people behind it change.
Contracts
Your entity sets the structure. Your contracts define the relationships around it. I review and prepare the agreements a business actually runs on, and I will tell you what you are committing to before you sign one.
Four steps from idea to entity.

A focused consultation to understand what you are building, who else is involved, and where you expect to be in three years. Entity choice follows from those answers, not the other way around.
