Introduction

Once an entrepreneur decides on which entity structure they would like to have, it is time to form the new entity. Certain entity structures require formal filings with the Department of State. Aside from formal filed documents, there are several internal documents that need to be drafted with care and with the client’s needs in mind.

In this Unit, I’ll discuss filings and other documentation necessary (or strongly recommended) for starting a business.
