Pro Tip: “People who have their own businesses or are forming or purchasing their own businesses, should seek a business lawyer as a counselor, sort of like an advisor and an older experienced lawyer. Like we have at the Watkins firm. We’ve seen it all. We’ve seen every type of company, every type of business. And we’ve been there through the good times and the bad times. And so we have a lot of insight above and beyond just forming your entity, like some kind of form you find on the internet. We give you real world business advice that is tied to the law.
The purpose for a business formation is varied and wide. You have different types of companies, different types of licenses, different types of product, different types of ways of making a profit companies that just hold asset. You have companies for asset protection. You have companies for professional corporations, medical practices and healthcare entities, companies for real estate development, for international business, the list goes on and on. And so when you come to an experienced lawyer who has experience with your type of company, and you’re going to get insights and you’re going to get formation and you’re going to get a custom fit for the documents that are required in your specific type of business and for what your business goals are.
We customize our documents when we form a corporation. Unlike when you go to the internet or some of these companies that give you a, a bland agreement, that’s neutral, we give you an agreement that is biased in your favor, which is important because is you may want to have investors. You may want to sell the company someday. You may want to own the intellectual rights. You may have an invention that you’d like incorporated in that company. On top of that, one of the big reasons for performing a company is making sure that it’s protects you. I mean, that’s the corporate veil. If your documents aren’t formed, right? If you are not set up and organized correctly, if all of the legal requirements for having a separate entity are not in place, then you’ve wasted your time and money because you will have no legal or financial protection for your business or personal money and assets.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
