Business Formation - Helping New Businesses Create Solid Foundations

​

Storer & Steen represent clients in both business transactions and litigation. Our goal is to help you start your business right. The transactional practice includes matters such as business disputes, corporate and LLC formation, non-competition issues and agreements, contract negotiation and shareholder issues.

​

Business formation is an important undertaking and the first step to a successful business. If you are planning on going into business in Idaho as a sole proprietor or you want to form an LLC or corporation, take the time to talk to an attorney at Storer & Steen to determine what business model is best suited to your specific needs. Even formation of a small business requires an attorney to avoid pitfalls.

​

Company Formation is Just the Beginning

​

After we help you decide which kind of entity is best for the specific needs of your new business, we can assist you when dealing with many important matters and documents that most new companies need during their formation process, such as:

​

• Shareholder agreements

• Stock Purchase Agreements

• Bylaws

• Operating Agreements

• Corporate Governance Requirements

• Licensing Agreements

• Employment Contracts (W-2 and 1099)

• Company Handbook

• Non-Disclosure agreements

• Non-competition agreements

• Business purchases and sales

​

Even thought common "boilerplate" templates are a way to save money, such agreements will not be suited to your specific needs. In the end, what you initially save by using a "boilerplate"  template will likely be outweighed by the cost involved in business litigation when you are sued and your documents don’t protect your specific needs. When dealing with business formations, it is always important not just to file the appropriate document with the Secretary of State, but also to be aware of the multitude of other documents required in order to keep the protection that a corporation or limited liability company affords you.

We serve clients all over Idaho.  For a free phone or in-person consultations, call 208-323-0024  to discuss your business needs in detail.
