BUSINESS FORMATION AND STARTUPS

Forming a company, starting a small business or registering your business entity is a major step for many individuals – a step that requires experienced advice. If not set up correctly, the company, and you as the owner, may encounter serious issues including fines, penalties, or personal liability for the debts of the company.

In order to help, we are offering a checklist to guide you through the process. The checklist  is merely a starting point but will serve as a foundation to get you closer to your goal of getting your company off the ground. Keep in mind that we can only give legal advice to our clients, so this list should be considered as a single information source - not legal advice. Please fill out the form to the right to receive your copy of  ”10 Legal Questions to Consider When Forming Your Company.” 

We're looking forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

CORPORATE FINANCING & CAPITAL RAISES

We have substantial experience in the fields of corporate and securities law, and represent companies of all sizes in financing transactions. In order for a company to grow and reach the next level, they may need to be able to raise money when necessary, even when the sources of capital are limited. We do not just provide the tools to find funding opportunities, but we take an active role in locating, preparing, negotiating, and closing those opportunities. We have extensive experience advising companies on how to raise funds and actively participating in the negotiation process with venture capital, banking, and angel investors. Our goal is to put our clients in the best position possible to acquire funding and then connect them with appropriate sources of capital in an efficient and cost-effective manner for all parties involved. To accomplish this, we actively work with our clients to refine their business strategies, provide business solutions and prepare quality investor materials.

At Attentive Law Group, we do not want our clients to just view us as their attorneys, but as partners committed seeing their company succeed. Contact us today to learn how we can help your company.

Our attorneys have executed merger & acquisition deals for more than 20 years. We pride ourselveson the fact that we do not just close M&A transactions, but do so in a manner that meets our client’s business objectives.

  • Advance preparation for prospective targets
