The next 425 Launch is a bit near and dear to my heart. The Chamber seems to be looking at the same guys to give business advice as I do. My dad (Richard R. Beresford) and David C. Tingstad of Beresford Booth. Good move, guys! These guys are sharp!

David told me, “We are principals at one of the largest law firms in Snohomish County and will share their 50+ years of combined business experience. Speaking with other local business owners provides an atmosphere for everyone to learn and improve their businesses.”

Richard states “This will be a terrific opportunity to hear new ideas and opportunities from both a business as well as legal perspective.”

I know, first hand that both of these gentlemen are passionate about helping their clients succeed and have a wealth of knowledge to share.

The Chamber sent over this release:

The fourth semi-monthly 425-Launch event will take place on Thursday, May 19 at 5:30 PM in the Bracket Room of City Hall, 121 Fifth Avenue N, Edmonds. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, are about to start a new business, or have already started one, this discussion forum could be just the place you want to be. Presenting at this session will be Edmonds lawyers David C. Tingstad and Richard R. Beresford, of Beresford Booth, who will discuss and answer questions on how to best:

Structure your business

Establish a relationship with your “partners” with practical and economic substance

Provide for estate and succession planning

Provide a measure of asset protection

Structuring your business for success is challenging. Selecting the proper business form, whether corporation, limited liability company, proprietorship, or other entity, can be confusing. As a business owner you must compare management, capital needs, tax consequences and liability considerations, as you navigate through the challenges of your business formation.
