Starting a business is a decision that comes with almost unlimited opportunity and tremendous anxiety. An entrepreneur must make countless decisions as they pursue their dream. To what extent should personal resources be invested in the business? Are investors needed? What kinds of financing make sense? How should the business be structured?

As those decisions are made, there are still countless other concerns. What can be done to protect assets? How can personal liability be minimized? What are the tax implications of the new business? 

With wise counsel and planning, you can dramatically increase the likelihood that your business will succeed. OneAscent can help you build a business that is adaptable to change, prepared to handle risk, and ready to grow.
