Business & Organization Services
Whether you’re wanting to start a business of your own or set up a non-profit organization, PDH Hall Attorneys at Law can help you with the formalities that need to be done when taking your first steps.
Business Formation
How you start your business is important. It is crucial to choose the right designation in your Articles of Incorporation. The type of business designation you form will have an effect on how your business and personal finances interact. In addition to acquiring an EIN (employer identification number), you will have to choose one of several options for incorporation. PDH Hall Attorneys at Law can assess your business setup and help you determine which type of incorporation to obtain.
Trademark
If your business has a custom logo, it’s important to have the logo trademarked by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The purpose of trademarking your logo is to protect it from being used by another company. PDH Hall Attorneys at Law can help you file the correct paperwork and image specifications to get your trademark pursuit underway.
Nonprofit 501c(3) Formation
In order to start a nonprofit organization and receive grant funds and donations, you will have to set up a 501c(3) designation with the IRS. In Louisiana, the nonprofit business should be formed, then it can apply for 501c(3) status. Once your organization receives its 501c(3) status, it can apply for federal, state, and local grants.
