“Melissa drafted and negotiated the governing documents for my new business.”
“She made sure that I understood my rights as an owner and my obligations to my partner according to our operating agreement for our new LLC. Melissa made sure I was protected, and we ended up with a clear and fair agreement.”

When Should You Form A Business Entity?
You should form your business BEFORE you start taking on any work or selling products, BEFORE you start advertising the services or products you will offer and BEFORE you take any “startup” money from family or friends. Lastly, don’t you dare hire a contractor or employee without properly “setting up shop” first.
Governing Documents For Your Business Are Absolutely Necessary.
A business operating agreement or corporate bylaws explains the rights and obligations of the partners. Businesses evolve in so many unpredictable ways, just as people do. Life is unpredictable, which is why you need to form an agreement ahead of time. How will you and your business partners make decisions, address disputes, handle personal life events that could affect the company? These are just a few of the areas your governing documents address. Don’t wait! Contact Wick Law today.

1. Schedule a consult

Entity Selection
Limited Liability Company (LLC) – the preferred choice for most businesses due to flexible management with pass-through taxation, but with limited liability protection for the business owners.
Corporation – if you will be raising outside investment, this is the structure for you. Like the LLC, the owners are provided with limited liability, but the corporation itself pays taxes AND shareholders will also incur tax obligations for dividends they receive.
