Taxation, Tax Planning, Audits, and Real Estate Tax Appeals
Taxes and Business Planning
When starting and/or operating a closely held business there are many questions and issues that need to be addressed such as those regarding what type of entity the business should be, what is the best way to finance the business, who gets to make the business decisions and what happens if one of the owners die, become disabled, or divorced.
