Common Questions
Business formation questions Woodbridge clients often ask.
Should Woodbridge family companies use written owner terms?
Yes. Written terms help separate ownership, investment, work, compensation, control, and exits.
Can a company add investors after formation?
Often, but share terms, tax advice, records, restrictions, and agreements should be reviewed first.
Why are authority records important?
They help show who can sign contracts, approve borrowing, manage banking, and bind the corporation.
