Key to the success of any company is determining what kind of entity should be formed, and how it complies with the various regulations (from the Department of Corporations, the Department of Real Estate, the Contractors State License Board, or the Franchise Tax Board) imposed on it. It is also an essential part of the ‘corporate shield,’ so that liability does not go straight to the shareholders. We guide our clients through the selection, formation and maintenance of these various corporate entity choices.
