Entity Creation
When forming a new business, chosing the appropriate entity for organization is the first, and perhaps most important, step in the process.
In Tennessee, numerous options exist - limited liabiilty companies, corporate structures, various forms of partnership, as well as a sole proprietorship.
Harpeth Law offers consultations with individuals to assist in planning their new business structure. By assessing the goals and scope of a new business, we can recommend options for entity formation as part of the planning process.
Once an entity is selected, Harpeth Law can create all documents necessary. Our flat fee structure offers incredible value for business owners, and by using advanced internet technology, we can complete entity creations almost instantaneously.
BEWARE! Websites offering 'business forms' cannot provide legal advice . A mass-produced form cannot adequately provide the necessarily level of detail and protection that an owner receives from a document drated by an experienced legal professional.
