Expert Commercial Litigation Services in Mobile, AL

For many people, starting and growing a successful business is one of the most essential components of the American Dream. By ensuring your legal affairs are in order, a seasoned legal professional can ensure you start your business the right way. 

Our firm has helped countless clients create small- to medium-sized businesses. We have developed a brief, non-exhaustive checklist of important items to consider when forming a new company. We can assist you throughout this process and help you avoid common mistakes.

Before formally starting your business, you should consider:

• Talking to a lawyer about protection from liability and other potential legal concerns
• Talking to a certified public accountant about tax issues
• Talking to a financial professional about financing the start-up
• Talking to an insurance professional about the appropriate levels of coverage

Next, confer with our Mobile business attorneys to select the appropriate business entity for your company:

• Sole proprietorship
• Partnership
• Limited liability company (LLC) 
• S Corporation
• C Corporation
• Other

When starting a new business, choosing the right type of business entity is extremely important, and it is important to understand the implications of choosing one type over another. Your choice will impact nearly everything you do, as the entity type will define your level of personal liability. We can help you make an informed decision that best fits your business plan and goals.

Once you have chosen a business entity type, we can help you obtain an Employer Tax Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service, open a business bank account, and obtain state and city business licenses. You will also need to be prepared to file initial, quarterly, and annual tax forms and other reports with the applicable state, county, and city. Our team can assist you with these reporting requirements as well as any other future needs you may have.
