California Corporations

Successfully operating a small business in California requires a great deal of legal support.   From negotiating partner or vendor agreements to  protecting your trademarks and intellectual property, having an attorney by your side is the best way to ensure your business is truly positioned for prime and lasting growth.

Likewise, on the start-up side, many entrepreneurs often wonder:

  • How do I incorporate?
  • Is a California LLC right for me?
  • What’s the difference between an LLC and an S-Corp?
  • Which business entity is right for my small business or startup?
  • How can I save money in taxes?

Yet a great majority of entrepreneurs will not consult with a lawyer during the deliberation of such touch questions and ultimately choose the wrong entity with the least favorable tax benefits as a result.

And the number one reason why small business owners and entrepreneurs attempt to “go it alone” when it comes to the legal aspects of their firm?

They think they can’t afford it.

Well in most cases, and in most law firms, this is true.   A dedicated attorney acting essentially as “your general counsel” used to only be available for the big corporations and CEO’s.

Fortunately, times are changing and the small business and start-up community is finally getting the protective legal attention it deserves.

As small business owners ourselves, the attorneys of Phancao & Shaffer, LLP understand your ongoing legal and budget concerns.

That is why we take great pride in our ability to offer unique solutions and reasonable fees for our services. Not only are our fees reasonable, but unlike like most Orange County business law firms where hourly billing is the norm, we offer flat-fee billing and affordable monthly membership programs to the benefit of our clients.

That means you can call, email or fax the office to get the individualized help you need without receiving a hefty invoice for our time. We prefer a lifetime relationship with our clients over a one-time transaction, and flat-fee billing is the best way to ensure clients are not afraid to call the office or consult with us before making important business decisions.

Specifically, as your Orange County business attorneys, we will assist you with outdated General Partnerships and convert them to appropriate current Corporations or Partnerships. We will simplify the tax ramifications according to the chosen entity, and educate you to choose accordingly.

We represent and deal with businesses of all sizes; whether it is a corporation, non-profit organization, or single-owned entity. Phancao & Shaffer, LLP can assist in anything from Employment Contracts, Articles of Corporation, Real Estate Leases, to any other array of issues that may arise when dealing with a business.

Simply call our Costa Mesa business lawyers now at 714.966.2646 to start the process of protecting and preparing your business for long-term generational growth.
