Answers to the questions we hear most often from Georgia business owners.
For most small businesses, an LLC offers the best combination of liability protection, tax flexibility, and operational simplicity. A corporation (C-corp or S-corp) may be preferable if you plan to raise outside investment, issue multiple classes of stock, or have specific tax objectives. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs in a consultation and recommend the right structure for your goals.
Yes — even for single-member LLCs. Without a written operating agreement, your LLC is governed by Georgia's default LLC statutes, which may not reflect your actual intentions. An operating agreement establishes ownership percentages, management authority, voting rights, profit distribution, and what happens if a member wants to exit. Without one, disputes are far more likely — and far more expensive.
At a minimum, most businesses need: a client services or sales agreement, an independent contractor agreement (if using freelancers), a non-disclosure agreement for sensitive business information, and an operating or shareholder agreement. Depending on your industry, you may also need vendor agreements, lease agreements, or employment contracts. We'll assess your specific business and recommend exactly what you need.
Absolutely — contract review is one of the most valuable services we offer. Before you sign any significant business agreement, having an attorney review it can identify unfavorable terms, unlimited liability exposure, problematic dispute resolution clauses, or missing protections. The cost of a contract review is almost always far less than the cost of a dispute arising from a bad contract.
