Formation and transactions
Are you starting your business? Partnering with one or more other individuals? Do you have an agreement in place? Will you opt for a corporation or limited liability company? Answering these questions requires sound legal advice.
Business formation
Zimmer & Rens LLC offers a free one-hour initial consultation to discuss the aspirations of your new business and how you can effectively achieve these, beginning with how your business is structured. To set up your new business for success, Zimmer & Rens LLC offers the following services for business formation:
Articles of Organization or Incorporation
The Articles are the formal document that gets filed with the state’s government that the business conducts business under to acknowledge the business’ validity. The type of Articles filed with your state depends on the type of entity you decide to run your business as.
Employee Identification Number (EIN)
Next, we will obtain an EIN for your business through the IRS. An EIN will allow you to open a bank account for the business the same day it’s formed. It’s crucial to keep your personal finances and business finances separate. Moreover, if you are handling the finances of more than one business, it’s important to keep a bank account for each business entity.
Operating Agreement or Bylaws
An operating agreement or bylaws will be the document your business regularly consults to determine the level and allocation of authority for different tasks exercised on behalf of the business entity, including the day-to-day activities of the business. It’s important to discuss and establish who will take on which role to mitigate any confusion or disputes that may arise in the future.
