Business Formation

The structure for your commercial venture is as important as the people, ideas, and capital behind it.  Failure to plan carefully in starting or reorganizing a business almost inevitably leads to unnecessary internal disputes and external legal threats that can sap profits or bring the whole enterprise crashing down.

The business law attorneys of Bowman & Krieger provide astute counsel for entity selection and the myriad other considerations of business formation.  We provide startup and ongoing consulting to small and mid-size businesses throughout Lincoln and Lancaster County and statewide Nebraska.

Our lawyers sit down with organizers to determine the best choice of entity for a new business or work to restructure an existing business or partnership.  We walk clients though the pros and cons of business organization as an LLC (limited liability company), S corporation, LLP (limited liability partnership), FLP (family limited partnership) or other options.  Our lawyers can also assist you in setting up a homeowner’s association, professional corporation or a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

We carefully draft or review the shareholder agreement, operating agreement, partnership agreement or buy-sell agreement.  It is important for all owners/partners and voting investors to be on the same page at startup, and critical to protect your personal assets and the business itself should disputes arise down the road.
