Business Formation

Business Formation Services

Starting a business involves important legal decisions from day one. At Brandon W. Frazier, Attorney at Law, PLLC, we help entrepreneurs and business owners in McComb and throughout Mississippi choose the right business structure and establish a solid legal foundation for their ventures.

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

The LLC is the most popular business structure in Mississippi for good reason. It combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax flexibility and simplicity of a partnership. We handle the full formation process, including preparation and filing of the Certificate of Formation with the Mississippi Secretary of State, drafting of a comprehensive operating agreement that addresses member rights, management structure, profit distribution, and dissolution procedures.

Corporations

For businesses that plan to seek outside investment, issue stock, or operate with a formal board structure, a corporation may be the right choice. We prepare Articles of Incorporation, corporate bylaws, initial resolutions, and stock certificates. We also advise on S-Corp election where appropriate for tax purposes.

Partnerships

Whether you are entering a general partnership, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership, a well-drafted partnership agreement is essential to define each partner’s rights, responsibilities, capital contributions, and exit procedures. A clear agreement drafted at the outset can prevent costly disputes down the road.

Business Succession Planning

Every business owner should have a plan for what happens when they are ready to step away, whether through retirement, sale, or transfer to the next generation. We work with business owners to develop succession plans that protect the value they have built and provide for an orderly transition.

Ongoing Business Counsel

Beyond formation, we provide ongoing general counsel services to businesses throughout Mississippi. From contract review and commercial lease negotiation to regulatory compliance questions, we are available to address the legal issues that arise in the day-to-day operation of your business.
