Contact our Winter Park, Colorado, law office today to discuss your individual business start-up goals with a trusted business law attorney. We will help you develop a plan for forming your business that is tailored to your unique objectives and guide you in seeing that plan through.

If you are planning to start a business in Colorado, it is critical that you organize your entity properly. Our lawyers assist clients in the formation of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), partnerships, sole proprietorships, and different types of corporations, such as nonprofit or subchapter S-corporations. In addition to initial incorporation, we assist clients in every stage of their business start-up, such as:

• Capitalization
• Real estate development
• 1031 Exchanges
• Naming your business
• Banking relationships
• Initial documentation for initial shareholder and member meetings
• Filing documents and obtaining business license from the Internal Revenue Service, Colorado Department of Revenue, and other governmental agencies

It is important to hire an attorney who will organize your corporation correctly. Many lawyers do not know how to do this properly, resulting in defectively formed entities undercapitalized businesses that end up folding or entities that sub-optimize their taxation alternatives. At Atwater & Herren, we have the legal knowledge and experience to ensure that you have a properly selected entity, a properly formed entity, an adequately capitalized entity and an entity capable of carrying out your business plan.

The next step is the proper organization of your business. Does your business structure include officers, directors, members, managers, employees, contract workers, or independent contractors? Who holds those positions? We will explain the implications of each of your options.

Once a business has been formed and properly organized, we will then support them and counsel them in all of their ongoing transactional and business litigation needs. We can act as registered agent of service for process, complete biannual corporate reports, prepare annual and special meeting minutes and monitor ongoing issues. Businesses who have a trusted active lawyer, who knows the pitfalls, can save companies lots of litigation dollars by employing sound legal practices.
