Managing Your Business

Growing businesses often add new talent, creating the need for employment agreements and business plans. To succeed, these must serve the interests of both the company, employee and the other company. The business may also wish to form subsidiaries or affiliates, or take other tax-efficient approaches such as limited liability companies, corporations or limited partnerships in order to optimize its operating and tax situation.
