Business Setup
Setting Up Your Business is More Than Just Paperwork
Choosing the right legal structure for your business is one of the most important early steps in setting a strong foundation.

Whether you are considering a limited liability company, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship, our attorneys will explain the advantages and challenges of each option so you can make an informed decision that supports your goals.
We assist clients through the full setup process, including preparing and electronically submitting the required documents to the Missouri Secretary of State. We also provide guidance and documentation on related matters such as constructing an operating agreement, defining ownership rights, and applying for a federal tax identification number. By working with our attorneys from the beginning, you avoid delays, missing documents, or filing errors that could cause unnecessary complications in the future. Starting with the right structure gives your business the tools it needs to grow and stay protected.

The attorneys at our firm also provide relevant advice for succession planning as you approach retirement. Whether you’re selling a company to a third party or keeping your business assets in the family, each option requires specific documentation and we’re here to help.
