BUSINESS ENTITY SELECTION & FORMATION

Choosing the right legal structure is a critical step in starting or reorganizing a business. At Balian Law, we guide clients through the selection and formation of business entities with a focus on liability protection, tax efficiency, and long-term flexibility. Whether you're considering a corporation (C or S), limited liability company (LLC), partnership, or sole proprietorship, we take the time to understand your business goals and recommend the entity that best fits your needs.

​

Once the structure is selected, we handle all aspects of formation—from drafting and filing organizational documents to preparing operating agreements, bylaws, and ownership agreements. Our goal is to ensure your business is built on a solid legal foundation, compliant with all state and federal requirements, and positioned for future success.
