Business Formation & Startup Counsel
Build Your Business on the Right Legal Foundation
Starting a business involves more than filing paperwork.
The decisions made at the beginning can affect ownership, management, liability, operations, and future growth.
The Law Office of Ian M. Angkiangco provides business formation and startup counsel to entrepreneurs and businesses throughout Texas.
Starting a Business in Texas?
Whether you're launching your first company, starting a new venture, or restructuring an existing business, IMA can help you navigate the legal decisions involved in establishing your business.
The goal is not simply to form an entity—it is to create a legal foundation that makes sense for how your business will actually operate.

Founder & Ownership Agreements
When multiple people own a business, clearly documenting the relationship between owners can help establish expectations from the beginning.
IMA can assist with agreements addressing ownership structure, responsibilities, management, decision-making, and other matters relevant to the business relationship.
Startup Contracts
New businesses often need agreements in place before they begin working with customers, vendors, contractors, or strategic partners.
IMA can help establish essential business contracts, including service agreements, independent contractor agreements, NDAs, vendor agreements, licensing agreements, and other commercial agreements.
More Than Filing an LLC
Online filing services can help submit formation paperwork.
Legal counsel can help you think through what happens after the business is formed.
-
How will the company be managed?
-
Who owns what?
-
Who has authority to make decisions?
-
What happens when another owner joins or leaves?
-
What agreements should be in place before working with customers, contractors, or partners?
IMA helps business owners address the legal structure behind the business—not simply the filing that creates it.
