Business Planning is the most important part of ensuring that your business thrives and succeeds in this competitive market.

If this is your livelihood you want to ensure that all the proper procedures and legalities are in place. 

​

We help entrepreneurs decide which entity type is best for their goals: Limited Liability Company, C-Corporation, S-Corporation (taxation), Limited Partnerships, or Partnerships.

 

If you're the philanthropist type, then a Non-Profit is best suited for you and the attorneys at Ovando Bowen LLP know the process and make sure it's completed both with the IRS and your state of incorporation. 

 

The attorneys at Ovando Bowen LLP will work diligently to make sure that your partnership agreement, operating agreement or shareholder agreement is drafted properly and to your specifications on how the company should be run and managed.
