BusinessStructures
Architecture for ambition.
What We Do
ビジネス
Entity structure determines how money moves, who owns what, and what happens when things go sideways. Single-member LLC or multi-jurisdictional holdco — the paperwork should match the ambition.
Tax efficiency. Asset protection. Clean cap tables. Structures that make sense to accountants, investors, and future acquirers — not just the person who set them up.
Designed OpCo/HoldCo/SPE structures for professional athletes with 8-figure career earnings — optimized for tax efficiency, asset protection, and appreciation.
Architected multi-entity and multi-jurisdictional frameworks across 10+ CPG (including cannabis) companies, many operating in regulated markets.
Formed and structured 50+ business entities — LLCs, C-corps, nonprofits, and international subsidiaries — structured to scale in strategic states.
What We Handle
Entity Formation
LLCs, C-corps, S-corps, nonprofits, series LLCs. Delaware, Wyoming, California, international. Chosen for strategy, not just default.
Founder & Operating Agreements
Ownership splits, vesting schedules, buyout triggers, exit scenarios. Alignment documented before misalignment becomes expensive.
OpCo/HoldCo & SPE Structures
Parent-subsidiary frameworks, single-purpose entities, asset isolation. Clean lines between operations, ownership, and liability.
Multi-Jurisdictional Setup
Cross-state and cross-border formations with proper nexus, registered agents, and compliance calendars. No loose ends.
Equity & Profits Interests
Option pools, profits interests, phantom equity, carried interest. Compensation structures that align incentives without cap table chaos.
Corporate Governance
Bylaws, operating agreements, board resolutions, consent actions. The boring stuff that prevents the dramatic stuff.

Other Services
Venture Finance
SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds. The paperwork that turns ideas into actual money.
Intellectual Property
Trademarks, copyrights, name, image and likeness deals, and trade secrets. The intangible assets that appreciate — eventually worth more than whatever you're actually selling.
Contracts & Deals
Contracts that set expectations in writing — potential disagreements, pre-settled. Because most of us can barely remember yesterday's lunch, let alone handshake deal terms from 9 months ago.
