The Crecca Law Firm – Albuquerque Business Attorneys
As your Albuquerque Business Attorneys, we can help incorporate and form your new business quickly, and usually for a flat fee. All you need is the idea and the name. I’ll handle the drafting work and filing necessary to form your entity correctly.

We want to help you get your dream off the ground, at an affordable price. The Crecca Law Firm flat fee formation service gives you the ability to meet with an attorney and take whatever time is needed to get a full understanding of business formation law and the formation process. It also lets you contact our attorneys without fear of hourly billing during the formation process. From the start, you will know the cost up front and can rest assured that the number you have put in your business plan for attorney formation costs stays where it is, unchanged, throughout the formation process.
It is very confusing. What entity is best? LLC or Corporation? Which tax status? Sub-S? LLC with an 8832? How do you document percent ownership among partners? Who has decision-making power, voting rights? Who gets what in dissolution? What about taxes? It is critical to have a business lawyer advise you specifically on each topic, after taking into account your exact legal and tax position.
Cheap “self-help” incorporation and LLC formation sites often create real disasters for you. If you are considering using a cheap incorporation service or downloading some operating agreement off the internet and ‘doing it yourself’, DON’T. Our litigation department thrives on cases resulting from poorly written and badly thought-out shareholder agreements. Your business is too important to risk losing simply because you wanted to make your first step a cheap step.
