Throughout my business life I discovered the advice I needed was often not available. Accountants and attorneys knew all the things which could be done but had no practical experience in helping me decide which was right for me. I paid a lot of money for some of the worst advice I could have received. I took some wrong roads and some right ones and eventually found my way. What I learned was there was no real BUSINESS CONSULTANT who could understand my business and help me get started right. Then I needed someone who could follow my growth, guiding me along the way, someone to teach me how to take the next step. After 25 years as a small business owner I finally made a business out of helping others start and build their businesses.
I am neither an accountant or an attorney and do not give legal advice. What I can do is give you ideas you can suggest to your own advisors and help you make good choices. My experience is Accountants and Attorneys know "how", but are not able to tell you "why" or "which", and it is the "why" you should chose "which" of your options that makes all the difference.
If you can't decide whether to be a sole proprietor, a General Partnership (GP), a Limited Partnership (LP), a Limited Liability Company (LLC), an S Corporation or a C Corporation, aren't even sure what each is, don't know how each one is taxed, what difference it makes what your year-end is, and what the advantages of each are, you are in the right place.
I have worked with small start up businesses, retail and service, all the way to fortune 500 companies and even the State of California.
