FAQs

Which entity is right—LLC, S Corp, or C Corp?

It depends on tax goals, ownership, fundraising plans, and desired formality. LLCs offer flexibility and pass‑through taxation; S Corps can reduce self‑employment tax for eligible owners; C Corps suit outside investors and growth plans. We evaluate your goals and recommend the best fit.

Do I need an operating agreement or bylaws?
Yes. Written governance documents protect liability, clarify decision‑making, ownership rights, and transfer rules - preventing disputes even for single‑owner entities.

How should founders split equity and handle vesting?
Splits should reflect contributions and future roles; standard vesting is four years with a one‑year cliff. Vesting and founder agreements protect the company if a founder departs early; we draft terms to balance incentives and protection.

Why use a lawyer for formation?
Early legal counsel prevents costly mistakes—proper entity choice, well‑drafted agreements, IP assignment, compliance, and tax coordination protect owners and preserve value. We handle paperwork, foresee pitfalls, and align business structure with your personal and long‑term goals.
