Build it right the first time.
The cheapest entity is rarely the right one.
Filing an LLC takes twenty minutes online. Living with the consequences takes years.
The wrong structure shows up later — in a tax bill you didn't expect, in liability that reaches further than you thought, in a partner dispute with no operating agreement to resolve it. By then the fix is expensive, and sometimes it isn't available at all.
I work with founders while those decisions are still cheap to get right.
Fifteen years of watching what goes wrong.
I came to business formation the long way. Years in litigation, which is where you learn what a badly drafted operating agreement actually costs. Then running the anti-money-laundering compliance department for an overseas law firm — a job that's entirely about spotting the structure that looks fine on paper and isn't.
That combination is unusual, and it's why my advice tends to be conservative. I've seen the downside case.
What I do
Business Formation & Structuring
LLC or corporation, single-member or partnership. We work through how you actually make money, who's involved, and what you're protecting, then structure around that instead of a template. You get a written recommendation and a numbered plan you can act on.
Consultations from $250 · Written plans from $900
Document Review & Revision
Operating agreements, bylaws, contracts, and the documents somebody handed you and told you to sign. I'll tell you what it says, what it doesn't, and what I'd change.
From $650
Compliance & Structure Reviews
Entities drift out of alignment with the businesses they were built for. Annual filings, foreign registration as you expand, beneficial ownership obligations.
From $450
I don't form companies. I tell you what to form and why — which means I have no stake in what gets built.
