Incorporation

Choosing the right entity is one of the first structural decisions a startup makes. The entity you choose affects ownership, tax treatment, governance, fundraising, equity, and much more.

With all the off-the-shelf formation products on the market, startup founders are tempted to click a few buttons and have an entity in place. But the money and time saved can be dwarfed by the strategic opportunities lost. Strategic counsel at formation doesn’t have to break the bank. A well-timed suggestion on a consult call can save founders millions of dollars down the road.

Common Incorporation Questions

Incorporation work often turns on a small set of decisions:

  • LLC or corporation

  • Founder ownership structure

  • Governance framework

  • Investor expectations

  • Tax objectives

  • QSBS eligibility

  • Reorganizing ahead of financing or a transaction

These choices set the pattern for what comes next.

Our Approach

Formation is foundational. Where you start dictates where you will go. With that said, there may be strategic reasons to start as one type of entity and later convert to a different type of entity. There are many off-the-shelf entity formation products on the market. But these products only solve for the “how”--not the “why.” We start with the why.
