Melissa C, Marsh, a Los Angeles California business attorney with over 20 years experience, has incorporated hundreds of California businesses, and organized, maintained and represented hundreds of California corporations. However, before you decide to incorporate a California business, we would like to know why you want to form a California corporation: is it for limited liability protection, potential self employment tax savings, to lessen the risk of an audit, for prestige, or to formalize an agreement among partners or investors. Once we know why, we can help you decide if a California corporation is the right entity, and if so whether you would be better served by a California S-corporation or a C-corporation.
