Formation to Operation: Your Legal Launch Checklist

Is your corporation or limited liability company properly formed? Is it set up to protect your business and personal assets? Are you seeking to apply for a business loan or MWBE certification?

A corporation or limited liability company (LLC) can provide a vital layer of protection against personal liability but only if it is formed and managed properly. The act of forming a corporation or LLC is not enough to guarantee limited liability protection or legal ownership of your business. In addition, forming a corporation or an LLC with the New York Department of State does not indicate ownership. Legal documents need to be drafted and adopted after the formation of a corporation or LLC to protect your personal assets and provide you with the authority to act on behalf of your business. The formation of a corporation or LLC is not complete after approval from the Department of State. This training will focus on the next steps business owners should take after a corporation or LLC is approved by the Department of State. Following the training business owners will have an opportunity to have an attorney review their corporation or LLC documents in person after the course or an appointment will be made for the future to make sure limited liability protection is maintained, the entity is in compliance and that the business has all the necessary entity documents.
