The Law Offices of Robert
I. Long can assist your Small Business with the following:
- Selecting
the right business form for your circumstances. For a joint venture,
a partnership agreement may be all that is needed. For an ongoing
enterprise, or when personal assets need to be protected from
business-related liabilities, a Limited Partnership, Limited
Liability Company, Limited Liability Partnership, or Corporation
may be indicated.
The first step is to sit down with an attorney at the Law Office of
Robert I. Long to discuss your circumstances.
- Once
a business form is selected, the Law Office of Robert I. Long can
assist you with completing and filing the forms to bring the company
into existence including, if necessary, confirming that there is not
already a company with the identical or substantially same name
already registered with the California Secretary of State. We will
also assist you in making available tax treatment elections and
other forms as needed to bring the business into existence in good
standing. We can also prepare an operating agreement or resolution
by which the rights and duties of the company principal owners are
defined, and issue stock certificates or certificates representing
ownership interests.
- For
stock corporations, including those having made an “S”
election (i.e., to be treated like a general partnership for
income-tax purposes), we can assist you with the conduct of annual
meetings and the preparation of minutes of both regular and special
meetings as well as resolutions of the directors or shareholders as
needed.
- The
Law Office of Robert I. Long also stands ready to represent your
business for other legal matters that may arise, including adding or
removing principals (owners), new issues of stock or issuance of a
new class of stock, dissolution or winding down of the company,
assisting in the negotiation of contracts and other documents of a
legal nature, pursuing enforcement and collection actions and
otherwise representing your business in court or before
administrative agencies.
