About This Practice

Focused Business Formation Counsel

LLC Formation & Entity Selection in Fort Collins & Northern Colorado

Our business law practice is intentionally narrow. We help entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small-business owners across Northern Colorado do two things well: choose the right business entity for their situation, and stand up a properly formed LLC when that's the right fit.

We don't try to be a full-service corporate department. What we do offer is clear, personal guidance on the foundational decisions that shape your business — the ones that are hardest to unwind later. If your needs eventually grow beyond formation, we'll be candid about that and help point you in the right direction.

Whether you're launching your first venture or moving from a side project into something more formal, we'll walk you through the trade-offs in plain language and make sure your paperwork actually reflects how you plan to operate.

Our Services

What We Offer

A deliberately focused business practice — centered on entity selection and LLC formation done right.

Entity Selection Consultation

A candid conversation about the pros and cons of an LLC, S-corp election, sole proprietorship, or partnership for your specific situation and goals.

LLC Formation

Full formation of your Colorado LLC — from name availability through Articles of Organization and Statement of Authority filings with the Secretary of State.

Operating Agreements

Custom operating agreements that reflect how you and any co-owners actually intend to run the business, including decision-making, contributions, and exit terms.

Single-Member vs. Multi-Member Guidance

Practical guidance on the differences and what changes when you add partners, investors, or family members to the ownership structure.

Foundational Compliance Basics

Guidance on the essentials — EIN, registered agent, periodic reports — so your entity stays in good standing from day one.

What We Handle

What This Practice Is — and Isn't

  • Focused specifically on LLC formation and entity structure decisions
  • Personal, straightforward advice tailored to your business goals
  • Clear, flat-fee formation packages whenever possible
  • Not a full-service corporate law department — by design
  • Honest referrals if your matter is outside our scope
