Tennessee Business Formation Services

Our firm serves clients across Nashville, Davidson County, and the entire state of Tennessee. We assist with forming:

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

LLCs are one of the most popular business structures in Tennessee. They offer liability protection and flexible tax treatment. We’ll help you file your Articles of Organization, draft a comprehensive Operating Agreement, and ensure compliance with Tennessee Secretary of State requirements.

Corporations (C-Corp and S-Corp)

For businesses planning to scale, raise capital, or issue stock, forming a corporation may be the right choice. We guide clients through the process of setting up a C-Corp or electing S-Corp status for tax purposes, while also handling bylaws, shareholder agreements, and more.

Sole Proprietorships

Simple to start, but not without risks — we help sole proprietors obtain the right licenses and understand their personal liability exposure under Tennessee law.

Partnerships & Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

When forming a partnership or LLP, the right agreement is critical. We draft clear partnership agreements, manage Tennessee registration requirements, and help clarify roles, contributions, and dispute resolution.

Nonprofit Corporations

Starting a 501(c)(3) or other nonprofit in Tennessee? We handle formation, corporate governance, and IRS tax-exempt applications so you can focus on your mission.

Why Entity Selection Matters

Your choice of business entity affects everything from how you're taxed to how much personal risk you take on. We take the time to understand your goals and advise on the best structure for your unique business model.

We regularly counsel clients on key business formation topics, including:

Liability protection and asset shielding
Tennessee franchise tax and excise tax considerations
Multi-member LLC structuring and buy-sell agreements
Business licenses, EIN registration, and local permitting
Converting an existing business to a new entity

Starting a Company in Another State? Let’s Talk First.

Thinking about forming your business in Delaware, Nevada, or another state outside Tennessee? It might make sense — or it might create more headaches than it solves. Choosing the right state for formation depends on your business model, operations, and long-term goals.
