Forming a business is the first step toward realizing your dreams and doing what you want to in life. The formal process of business formation is necessary so that it can get started in a way that is lawful, ethical, and meaningful to everyone involved. In fact, the formation of a business affects all of your endeavors and can impact some of your strategic choices.
From legal matters to financial aspects of your company, James C Provenza & Associates, PC can help you to set yourself up for success. We will help you to determine what the best options are for your business so that you can move forward.
Even if you are a sole proprietorship with a singular employee, business formation is crucial to your success. The designation at the end of your business means something, not only to you, but also to your customers and clients. Adding “LLC” at the end of your name will make you seem more legitimate.
Our team will help you to sort through all of the advantages and disadvantages of each option that you have, ensuring that you can make the best decision for your business.
