Business Formation
You’ve decided to start your own business. Or maybe you already have a business but you want to convert it to a different type of entity. Either way you want help from a business lawyer. Whether you’re a Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens startup seeking venture capital or a small business looking for an edge, Welch Law can help you make an informed choice of which entity is right for your business. Once that’s done, we can help guide you through the process of setting up the business the right way.
There are many different structures you can use for your business. Corporations and LLCs are two of the most popular, but there are plenty of others to choose from, like general partnerships, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships, professional associations, and more. Jupiter Business Lawyer Edward Welch will help you understand the pros and cons of each of these forms, specifically as they relate to your business. This conversation often focuses on how the entity will be taxed, the liability exposure of entity owners, and the ability of entity owners to transfer their interests in the business.
Once you settle on an entity structure, Welch Law will help get it set up by filing appropriate documents with the state and preparing governing documents such as articles of incorporation, corporate by-laws, and LLC operating agreements. These governing documents may seem like mere formalities, but they are often critically important because they provide a roadmap for where the business is going, how it will get there, and who is behind the wheel.
Below are a few of the flat fees commonly used for business formation projects. (The fee you’re quoted may be higher depending on the complexity of the project.

Knowledge and Efficient Approach
Eddie represented me a few years back in a divorce case. The experience was painless and efficiently managed. This is an incredible accomplishment when you think of the emotion involved. His level-headed approach is as remarkable as his knowledge of the law.
