Practice Areas

Business Planning

We assist clients in identifying vulnerability to creditor exposure through a detailed analysis of their holdings to determine exposure from business and personal liabilities. Sharpe Law Group can advise clients in multiple areas to reduce or eliminate such risk. In addition, we review existing entity structures and advise on modifications because of changes in the law, new circumstances, or different needs. We also assist clients with maintaining existing entity structures in a way that optimizes asset protection.

What Business Planning Options Does Sharpe Law Group Offer?

We create entities for asset protection and/or asset management. We also assist closely held businesses and family businesses to establish the appropriate entity structure and advise on the related income taxes. Entities that we frequently implement and maintain include family limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations.

What Is The Benefit Of An Entity?

One benefit of an entity is asset protection. It is common to hold rental real estate inside an entity to avoid liability exposure of other personal assets. Another benefit is to facilitate common management of family-owned assets such as a ranch or family business.

What Are The Complications Of Business Planning?

Most types of entities require annual filings with the Texas Comptroller and a separate income tax return. Annual minutes are also required to document the entity’s activities. Sharpe Law Group has a team of attorneys and paralegals who regularly assist with annual minutes and filings and advise on ongoing questions related to administration of the entity.
