Common Questions
Business formation questions Bolton clients often ask.
Should Bolton contractors incorporate?
Incorporation may help in some cases, but liability, tax, insurance, contracts, cost, and record obligations should all be reviewed.
Who should be a director or officer?
That depends on control, signing authority, responsibilities, and risk. The roles should not be assigned casually.
Can contracts wait until after incorporation?
Sometimes, but early contracts often expose risks that should be reflected in the formation plan.
