Incorporate In California
Looking to incorporate? If you currently own your own business and are not covered by comprehensive commercial liability insurance, you could be putting more than your business venture at risk. For many small-business owners, incorporation often takes a back seat to day-to-day operations. Your goal of seeing your company succeed requires a significant amount of time and effort. And sometimes, the proper paperwork gets overlooked.
Consider for a moment the risks you are taking by not incorporating. Regardless of the industry you are in, you are at risk of having a lawsuit filed against you. Whether you own a small chain of dry cleaning shops, run a one-man consulting agency, or operate an at-home Internet company, at some point in the future, you may face a disgruntled customer. If this customer takes legal action against you and wins a judgment, your personal assets will be at risk. Your home, your car and everything else you have worked so hard to build could be gone--just like that.
To avoid this unfortunate scenario, you can incorporate. By incorporating, you are protecting your personal assets, leaving only your corporate assets at risk. As its own legal entity, your incorporated company will serve as a protective barrier between a lawsuit and your personal belongings. The cost of incorporating is minimal when you consider the risks you avoid by filing the proper paperwork.

Business Incorporation California
Without incorporating in California, you are personally responsible for any and all lawsuits filed against you. Discontented customers are an inevitable part of proprietorship, and protecting yourself against the legal ramifications of unsatisfied clients is essential if you expect your company to succeed. If you've considered incorporating before, but have put it off, here are three reasons to take the first step.
Establish a Credible Image
Image will have a lot to do with the way your customers and prospects perceive you. Incorporating your business can lend a sense of credibility to your company. It will also help protect you against other competing small businesses in the state.
Protect Your Personal Assets
Business incorporation will protect your personal assets in the event of a lawsuit. You've undoubtedly put a lot of time, effort, money and emotion into growing your own business. Why risk throwing it all away simply by not following proper procedure? In less than two days, you can protect your business, your home, and your family.
Get a Tax Break
Businesses incorporating in California can also get you a tax break come April. Incorporated businesses have more flexibility when it comes to itemizing expenses. After filing for incorporation, talk to your accountant to learn more about record keeping and business deductions.
At Jacobs & Dodds, we specialize in business incorporation. We offer fast, reliable services and depend on a team of qualified attorneys. Let us help you protect the business you've worked so hard to build. Call us today at (949) 645-7300.
California Articles Of Incorporation
Have you filed your articles of Incorporation for your small business? If not, you could be putting more than your start-up company at risk. Consider the fact that without incorporation protection, your personal assets can be seized in the event of a lawsuit. Rather than putting you, your family, and your business at risk, call Jacobs & Dodds Attorneys at Law to jumpstart the incorporation process.
At Jacobs & Dodds, we can file California Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State's office. The articles are usually brief and contain basic elements including the name of the company, a statement of purpose, the name and address of the business owner, and stock shares if applicable. This may seem simple, but many small business owners choose to enlist the help of a professional attorney.
By partnering with Jacobs & Dodds, not only will we help you file the California Articles of Incorporation, but we can also draft bylaws, take minutes at the first Board of Directors meeting, obtain an Employee Identification Number, draft buy/sell agreements, and much more. We provide a full range of services to our clients and work closely with them throughout the process. This helps you, as our valued client, understand the procedure surrounding incorporation law.
Whether you've been running your own business without limited liability insurance for one week, one month, or one year, don't wait much longer. Establishing incorporation will not protect you retroactively. Take the initiative and protect your business before any unforeseen complications arise. Call Jacobs & Dodds and speak directly with one of our experienced attorneys.
California Incorporation Lawyer
Incorporating in California is fast and easy. While there are many websites that allow business owners to incorporate online and at a low-cost, these services aren't always thorough. At Jacobs & Dodds, we work closely with our clients to determine incorporation needs. Each of our clients is given individual, customized services, rather than blanket incorporation services offered by internet-only companies.
We are not the cheapest California business incorporation lawyer on the Web. Rather, we spend three to four hours working with our clients to identify needs and perform optimal incorporation services. Our clients play an active role in the process. We believe it is important for you to understand why you are incorporating and how our services will protect you in the event of a lawsuit.
From start to finish, our clients are involved in the incorporation procedure. We will identify the type of incorporation you need (sole proprietorship, LLC, S-corporation, etc.), establish a new business entity, adhere to state and federal regulations, and answer any questions you may have about the incorporation process. This personal attention has helped us establish a strong rapport with our clients and a solid reputation in the industry.
The California business incorporation lawyer assigned to your account will have no less than 24 years experience. Our tenure in the industry and dedication to service excellence is why our services cost more than other, less qualified incorporation services. Your business is your livelihood, and protecting your personal assets and family is essential. We believe our services are worth every penny. For California incorporation you can trust, call Jacobs & Dodds at (949) 645-7300.
California Business Name Search
Before you can proceed with the incorporation process, you'll need to run a California business name search. In order to file for incorporation, your business name has to be distinguishable from other registered corporations within the state. So if you are currently working under a business name that is not incorporated, you could face a potential lawsuit.
Suppose you operate a hair salon out of your home. You have your own list of loyal clients and have been working for yourself for five years under the name XYZ Salon. You've recently decided to incorporate your business and protect your personal assets in the event of a lawsuit. The first step in filing for incorporation is to perform a California business name search. In your search, you realize that there is an XYZ Salon in Southern California. Furthermore this salon has already incorporated under this name. In order to incorporate, you would need to modify the name of your business so that it is distinguishable from the other salon.
Even though you have business cards and a website, the other XYZ Salon has legal rights over the name. This salon could file a lawsuit against you for misuse of its trademark. Without the protection of limited liability insurance, not only will your business crumble, but the court may seize your home and any other personal assets you have to cover the cost of the judgment.
At Jacobs & Dodds, we can help you begin a business name search and incorporate your company. Many of our customers are small business owners who are unaware of the risks involved in self-employment. Let our experienced team of attorneys protect your business and your personal assets. With 24 years of experience, each of our attorneys is skilled in California incorporation and can guide you through the process. Get started today by calling (949) 645-7300.
