Our team of tax attorneys understands the complications, nuances, and ever-changing tax laws to help our clients navigate the complexities of establishing, operating, and exiting businesses.
Establishing
We work with owners and entrepreneurs to understand their personal and business objectives, and to choose an efficient business structure from the outset.
Whether you are considering a C corporation, S corporation, partnership, limited liability company (LLC) or sole proprietorship, we can discuss the pros and cons of these entities for your unique situation and help select the entity and tax classification best suited to further your business goals.
FMH can assist in registering your business with the State of Florida, preparing articles of incorporation, shareholders agreements, partnership agreements, operating agreements, buy-sell agreements and even obtaining an EIN with the IRS.
Operating
FMH advises clients on operating their business, such as structuring additional capital contributions or debt financing, bringing on additional owners and other matters.
We also help clients restructure existing businesses to achieve more efficient tax results, and to facilitate the transfer of wealth.
Exiting
FMH helps owners with exiting their business, such as through stock or asset sales, dissolutions or other dispositions.
We can also help owners structure exits using the Section 1202 exclusion for qualified small business stock.
FMH welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your business whether you are at the start-up phase, the operational phase, or the exit phase. We are adept at identifying and planning for the associated tax consequences to help you and your business achieve your objectives.
