New Business Formation

It takes one great idea to launch a business; and it takes any one of a dozen mistakes a new business owner can make to bring it crashing down. At Cook & Company, we enable you to focus on your ideas and vision while helping you avoid the common pitfalls of starting a new business. It starts with creating a strategic business plan that will crystallize your vision and clearly articulate the strategies for achieving it.

From there, Cook & Company can help you clear a path to business success. As part of our New Business Formation services we help you:

  • Determine your start-up capital needs and identify sources of capital if needed.
  • Select a business ownership structure most appropriate for your needs based on your circumstances.
  • Prepare loan documentation for bank financing.
  • Set up an accounting system that fits your needs, budget and hardware.
  • Prepare a cash flow budget that anticipates your business needs for the first few years.
  • Set up billing and collection processes to maximize cash flow.
  • Prepare and file required licenses and permits.
  • Prepare for your first employee by setting up a payroll process and complying with employment laws.
  • Identify risk exposures that might require insurance coverage or legal arrangements.
  • Create partnership agreements.

The first few years of a new business are a critical time for achieving important milestones. Cook & Company’s New Business Formation services can keep you moving forward while getting you prepared for the next level.
