Pleasanton Business Incorporation Attorney

Using My Legal, Tax and Accounting Skills to Help Get Your Business Started

When you're starting a business, choosing the form that will best meet your goals requires weighing numerous factors, including tax consequences, ease of transfer of ownership interests, and record-keeping requirements. That's why working with an attorney with knowledge of those issues is so important.

I am tax and business law attorney Connie Yi. Having worked as a CPA in a large accounting firm before opening my own law firm, I am well-equipped to advise you on the selection and formation of a business entity that works for you. Contact me today to schedule a free initial consultation. I serve clients from four accessible locations in the Bay Area.

Choice of Entity Considerations

You have numerous options to choose from in California when forming your business entity: an LLC, an LLP, an S corp, a C corp, a sole proprietorship and so on. Keep in mind that certain forms are most commonly used for certain types of transactions. For example:

• For a business intended to invest in real estate, a limited liability company (LLC) may be in order.
• For the delivery of services by those with a professional license, such as doctors, dentists or lawyers, a professional corporation (PC) may be the most preferable option.
• For family businesses, a limited liability partnership (LLP) can be an effective tool for estate planning purposes, particularly for high net- worth individuals.

Accounting Support

Many new businesses struggle because they lack the accounting capacity needed to operate the business smoothly. Because I am a trained CPA as well as an attorney, I am able to offer invaluable assistance to my clients who are in need of accounting services. If you so desire, I can refer you to an accountant on my staff who can handle bookkeeping, meeting minutes, and other details with precision and care.

My accounting background also enables me to help you choose the corporate entity or other business form that makes sense from a tax perspective. You don't want to pay more taxes than you have to, and I'll make sure your business is structured with that in mind.
