Businesses routinely face obstacles that pose threats to their potential success. A business that is properly organized and systematically operated can greatly minimize, or avoid altogether, many of those obstacles. Dealing with obstacles after they arise, particularly in litigation, can be expensive, painstaking, and uncertain, so anticipating issues that may arise, and planning accordingly, is critical.

A business owner has several choices on how to structure his or her business. The business owner’s ultimate decision should be informed by liability, tax, management, and profit-sharing considerations. Belser & Belser has assisted business owners in selecting and establishing Limited Liability Companies, S Corporations, C Corporations, Statutory Close Corporations, and Limited Partnerships.

The expansion of a business through acquisition or merger can have significant legal and tax consequences, so a business owner should execute the expansion through proper planning as well. Belser & Belser has advised businesses through Asset-Purchase Agreements, Real Estate purchases, Investment Agreements, and Joint Ventures.
