October 2021 Entity Formation

DeAngelis Legal created several new entities this month in a variety of industries.  A couple corporations and several limited liability companies (LLCs).  The proper choice of entity and its proper tax character (c-corporation, s-corporation, partnership or disregarded entity) is largely driven by liability protection, the entity’s purpose and industry (i.e., real estate holding company, operating [...]

Keeping Corporate Records

Time and time again we are asked to re-create the corporate records of an entity. The fire drill is ignited by the need for financing, a large asset transaction, an IRS audit, an impending sale of the business or litigation. Business owners lose their mind that these seeming inconsequential items are holding up the transaction [...]

May 2020 Corporate Dissolution

DeAngelis Legal dissolved several entities that had either sold their assets or had terminated their business operations.  Taking the time to formally and correctly terminate the entity with the Arizona Corporation Commission reduces the risk of identity fraud and accelerates the statute of limitations so future claims are barred.  DeAngelis Legal advised the owners on [...]
