Entity Formation

When you’re building a new company, you’ve got a lot on your plate.

Preparing and filing all the documents you need to legally form your business—on top of everything else you’ve got to do to get your business off the ground—can feel overwhelming. That work is essential, because if it is not right from the start, the cost to fix it in the long run is exponentially higher.

That’s why it’s important to have a trusted advisor help you with entity formation. At Stock Legal, we can help make sure you have the right legal foundation for your business, and help you rest easy knowing all the details are taken care of, even if you don’t speak legalese.

For several entity formation services, we offer fixed-fee options, including:

  • Forming a multi-member limited liability company
  • Forming a Missouri single-member limited liability company

The attorneys at Stock Legal have helped hundreds of businesses navigate these early steps, and we’d love to help your company, too.

If you are starting a company and want to make sure it’s built on a solid legal foundation, contact us so we can get to know you, and help your business get started on the right foot.

Contracting

Your relationship with your customers is the lifeblood of your company. While a handshake and a warm smile are important in building trust during the contracting process, well drafted legal documents are necessary to make sure your business is protected (just in case not everyone agrees on what that handshake meant . . . ) Watch to learn more about our Contracting package.

Employment

Hiring employees is one of the most critical activities of your start-up or emerging business. Several key documents can help make sure your business is protected when it comes to employees, including a confidentiality agreement, independent contractor agreement, and an employment agreement. Because all companies with employees - no matter their size or industry - need these basic legal documents, Stock Legal offers an Employment Package for a fixed fee. Watch to learn more about our Employment Package.

Confidentiality Agreements

Companies like yours often find themselves in a position where they have to share information that is confidential to the company in order to do business—to engage with clients, to vet potential employees, or to investigate new business ventures, just to name a few. Having sound confidentiality agreements in place can be essential to protecting your ideas; strengthening relationships with customers, partners, and employees; and helping your business grow. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed fee for confidentiality agreements. Watch to learn more about our Confidentiality Agreement package.

Multi-Member Limited Liability Company and Incentive Agreements

If you’re starting a company with multiple owners, or members—whether those owners are individuals or other companies—you’re probably considering forming multi-member limited liability company (MMLLC). An MMLLC is an effective way to protect the personal assets of the members, which makes it a popular choice for start-ups and new small businesses. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed-fee package that includes the basic tools you need to form a MMLLC. Watch to learn more about our Multi-Member Limited Liability Company and Incentive package.

Missouri Single Member Limited Liability Company

If you’re starting a company with only one owner, then forming a single-member limited liability company (SMLLC) may be the best way to go. But while having just one member simplifies some things from a legal perspective, you still want to make sure you have a all the key documents necessary to establish a solid legal foundation for your SMLLC, no matter what product or service you are offering. Stock Legal can help you make sure you get your business off on the right foot. Watch to learn more about our Missouri Single Member Limited Liability Company package.
