Planning for the Business You Count On

 

We plan for your business far differently than other lawyers and law firms.

 

Business guidance begins with either a LIFT Start-Up Session (if you are not quite off the ground yet) or a LIFT Audit to review the legal, insurance, financial and tax systems in your business (if you are already in operation).

 

We are the holistic business advisors you have been looking for, not just putting in place legal documents or acting reactively, but instead giving you the peace of mind of knowing you have not only set your business up right from the get go, but that your business systems continue to keep up with your growth trajectory.

 

We focus on the details so you can maintain your high level, creative focus on growing the company and serving the right clients and customers.

It’s taken guts, savvy and sheer determination, but you’ve done it: You’ve made your business a success. You’ve weathered the market swings, outshone the competition, and kept your customers more than satisfied. Your achievements have enabled you to take care of and protect your family. So what happens if you get hit by that proverbial bus?

Hiring and firing team members is the single most expensive part of your business, bar none. And most entrepreneurs simply have no idea how to go about it, not just from a legal perspective, but from a how to run your business perspective.

 

We can help you hire right, train smart and fire when necessary so that you keep as much time and money in your business as possible.

 

You probably haven’t thought of your business like this, but really it’s just a series of agreements. Agreements with investors or lenders, clients and vendors, employees and independent contractors, partners and customers; the success of your business depends on your ability to make agreements and seal the deal.

Forming your business entity at The Law Office of Jane E. DePalma is not one size fits all and is never handled in a vacuum.  If you wanted once size fits all, you could use a document drafting service or online legal document website.

 

Before we form your entity, we get to know you, what’s important to you, what your business is going to do in the world and how you plan to exit it. 

 

Yep, you read that right – insurance really does say I love you. You have insurance because you love your family, your partners, your clients, and ultimately yourself. Let me explain.

 

When you have the right type and amount of insurance, you can relax knowing that whatever comes up, is handled.

 

When it comes to money, most business owners are dealing with it one of two ways – you either micro- manage your books and use your financial reports as a crystal ball that allows you to predict the future OR you manage your financials by going to the ATM and checking your balance.

 

When your tax situation is structured right, you could be paying less than 10% of your income in taxes. Yes, less than 10%. Or, you could pay as much as 50% of your income in taxes.

 

Strategic planning makes the difference.

 

While we are not tax advisors, this is another one of those things we will support you with...

Like most business owners, I imagine you are frequently coming up with new ideas for product lines, businesses, programs and services. But, how do you know what to move forward with, what goes in the someday maybe pile and what should be acted upon immediately?

 

Having a trusted, objective advisor to run those questions by is a great idea. But who can you trust to give you unbiased, smart, thoughtful guidance? Us.
