Corporate Formation

The formation of a new business is an exciting time for individuals who are taking steps to pursue their dream.

This includes selecting a business structure.

Fundraising

One of the biggest hurdles new startups face is finding funding to finance their new company. Without money, it's hard to succeed. However, the legal implications of how you raise money can either help you flourish or fail. Your Bolton Group, PLLC attorneys will go over potential options with you, discuss the pros and cons of each, and help you vet each funding option before we assist you in negotiating a deal.

Exit Events

Whether you’ve invested in a startup or received funding from another party, there may come a time for an exit event.
