Build Your Business With the Future in Mind

Whether you’re starting something new or preparing to pass on what you’ve built, your business is part of your larger legacy.

Your Business Is Part of Your Legacy

Building a business takes time, commitment, and vision. For many business owners, it becomes much more than a source of income — it becomes something they hope to protect, grow, and eventually pass on.

At DePrima Law, we look at your business in the context of the bigger picture. Whether you’re taking the first steps toward starting a business or thinking about what happens when you’re ready to step away, we help you make decisions that support both your business and your family.

Starting a Business

Build the right foundation from the beginning.

Starting a business involves important decisions about how your business is structured, how it operates, and how it fits into your personal and financial goals.

We help you think through the legal foundation of your new business so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Business Succession

Plan for what happens when you're ready for the next chapter.

Your business may be one of the most valuable things you have built. A thoughtful succession plan can help answer an important question: What happens to the business when you are no longer running it?

We help you think through continuity, ownership, and transition so your business plan and family plan work together.

Possible points:

Your Business and Your Family Are Part of the Same Picture

Business planning does not happen in isolation.

The decisions you make about your business can affect your family, your finances, your assets, and the future you are building. That’s why we consider your business alongside your larger Life & Legacy plan.

Whether you’re just getting started or preparing for the next generation, the goal is to create a plan that works together — not a collection of disconnected documents.

You built the business. Your plan should help protect what you’ve built.

Planning for the Stage You're In

Your Business Should Have a Place in Your Estate Plan

For many business owners, the business is one of their most significant assets. That means business succession and estate planning should work together.

A well-considered plan can help clarify what happens to your ownership interest, who may step in, and how your business fits into the overall legacy you are creating for your family.
