BUSINESS COMPLIANCE

CORPORATIONS & LLC

Forming a corporation or LLC separates your personal assets (home, car, bank account) from business debts and lawsuits.
If the business gets sued, owners are typically not personally liable. Customers, vendors, investors, and banks take incorporated businesses more seriously. If you need help forming your corporation, the Law and Public Policy Office is here to help.

NON-PROFITS COMPANIES
