Business Start-up

Helping With Effective Business Startup in King County

At Holt, Techentien & Kenn, we are committed to the Issaquah community, and we want to help it grow and prosper. Our lawyers help individuals with first-time business startup, and help established small businesses expand or change their operating structures.

Attorneys Richard Holt, John Murphy and Kelly Kenn advise clients about the step-by-step process of business startup and the choice of an appropriate business structure. Depending on your goals and your business's needs, our firm can draft documents to create the following types of business entities:

  • Sole proprietorships
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)
  • Partnerships
  • Corporations
  • C-corps and S-corps
  • Franchises

We can explain the differences between these types of business formations, as well as the benefits and possible risks. Many of our clients have been informed by their accountants about which business entity would best suit their needs. Using our community connections, we can refer you to an accountant in the area who can make a recommendation as well.

Using Real-World Experience to Benefit Business Startups

Two of our lawyers entered law practice after successful careers in other industries. Attorney Kelly Kenn spent several years working in the real estate business and gained valuable experience that helps her to better understand people's needs, fears and goals when starting a new business.

Ms. Kenn brings to our firm a fresh perspective and unique insight to our business clients. By talking with a skilled lawyer who also knows the business world, you may find that the process of business startup is quicker and simpler than you imagined.
