Selecting the right business attorney is the first step in ensuring the best possible outcome for you and your new business.  Owners of small and large businesses throughout San Marcos, Kyle, Wimberley, Buda, and Wimberley benefit from creating and maintaining business relationships with an experienced business law attorney. 

The first step is selecting the appropriate business structure for your new company.  While one business may be best structured as a sole proprietorship or partnership, it may be best for yours to be an "S" Corporation or limited liability company (LLC).   Each one has its own benefits and drawbacks.  Before selecting a business structure, it is strongly encouraged that you consult with an experienced business attorney and an accountant so you can understand issues such as tax, liability, and management structure.

Business partnerships, to some degree, are like marriage relationships.  There will be ups and downs, along with shared achievements and strong disagreements.  And, like marriages, some business partnerships end in "divorce."  The ending of a business relationship can be frustrating, emotionally grueling, and acrimonious.  

But, even if the business relationship is not ending, there will likely be various disagreements on issues such as:

• the admission of new owners; 
• will each owner contribute time, money, or both to the new business;
• who will make the day-to-day operational decisions; 
• will anyone be drawing a salary; or 
• what happens when an owner dies or becomes incapacitated.  

For this reason, and many others, clients who plan on going into business with others should strongly consider company agreements.  While these documents cannot plan for or address every business issue that may arise over the life of your new business, it can help address many aspects of your new business and minimize many disagreements or liability.

Contracts play a fundamental role in the day-to-day operations of many businesses.  Whether it is a vendor or supplier contract, a sales contract, a non-compete contract, or a lease agreement for your new building, contracts dictate the way you do business on a daily basis.  However, signing a contract with provisions stacked heavily in the other party's favor can potentially damage the success of your business.  Accordingly, you should strongly consider hiring an experienced business law attorney to carefully draft, negotiate, and thoroughly review any business contract prior to your signing.
