Initial Business Consultation

Before you start your new business, let us advise you on the right type of business entity for your venture. Incorporation services don't come with advice, and we have seen many clients who used an incorporation service only to find out later that they chose the wrong entity, or didn't maintain their limited liability. Our new business startup package provides up to a 90 minute initial consultation for a flat fee. If you choose to use our firm to then incorporate or organize your business entity, the fee will be credited toward your new business organization.

Please contact us to schedule your New Business Startup initial consultation.
