In today’s business environment, the fluctuations and instability of the economic climate as well as the increased risk of potential litigation make it imperative that business owners properly form and maintain their business entities. Business entities, in whatever form, provide significant protection for personal assets from the potentially enormous liability risks otherwise associated with the business itself. By and large, the use of a legal entity to house a business, when combined with counseling provided by an experienced legal professional, can serve as the most important protection an individual business owner can have.

Through the MLF Company Support Division, MLF has expanded the business maintenance services that the Firm has historically offered to its clients. MLF Company Support’s genesis is derived from the fact that legal business entities are created by statute and therefore must meet various statutory requirements in order to maintain their existence and the protections offered by the use of the business entity.

MLF Company Support focuses on three main areas commonly associated with the formation and maintenance of business entities by offering the following services:

(1) Preserving Liability Protections of the Business Entity – preserving the potential liability protection that can exist within a properly formed and maintained business entity;

(2) Annual Corporate Maintenance – assisting in compliance with statutory formalities by providing certain of the required annual corporate maintenance duties; and

(3) Business Support – serving as a trusted advisor with respect to the various business needs of small and medium sized business entities.
