Business Formation

America, in general, and Tennessee, in particular, have a rich tradition and history of entrepreneurs who have opened their businesses and achieved success and financial freedom in doing so. A business does not succeed simply by luck, however. It takes careful planning and execution of those plans to help give the business the best possible opportunities for success.

Many decisions need to be made before a business is formed, such as the type of business entity that will be established, how the business will be run, and how the business will receive its initial start-up funds (just to name a few). The seasoned team of legal advocates at Douglass & Runger is experienced in helping new and experienced entrepreneurs carefully plan the startup of their business ventures and help them properly execute these plans. Make them a part of your business startup team to help give your business the best possible chance of success.
