What do you need to do, to change the ownership structure of your company?

Changing the ownership structure of a company can be easy or complicated, depending on a number of factors involving existing ownership, tax status and intended changes.

We wrote this expert system in an attempt to guide you.

No. This is an AI Program, or Expert System, programmed with the intent to analyize what you want to do, and tell you the relevant steps, activities and/or documents you need to accomplish your goals.

This Expert System will produce a checklist on what we think you need to do, based on what you've told us. Our AI System will NOT:

  • ask you irrelevant questions. Every question it asks, is based on your previous answers.
  • provide the documents you need, although we'll do our best to point you in the right direction on where to go next.
  • address other issues, such as changing entity types, moving the company, closing, dissolving or bankruptcy.
  • handle timing issues, i.e. you want to do X today and Y over time or later. To do that, run this Expert System multiple times for each major change.

This is a private, anonymous Expert System. We are not saving results, and we are not going to ask you for your private or contact information (although we may ask for names, to help illustrate change recommendations). This is provided as a public service.

The answer depends on exactly what you're trying to accomplish, and how you answer our questions. The average person takes about 3-5 minutes, assuming you skim the information we present to you. If you read everything, it could take you 5-10 minutes.

Believe it or not, the issues in changing ownership can be very, very complicated. We spent a long time writing this AI Expert System, but it doesn't address all possibilities out there. If it cannot help you, it will tell you -- and that means you should really consult with a business attorney. In fact, we sell consultations with exactly the type of experienced business law attorney you will need (30 minutes per consult), and that big button on the right that says "Order 30-Min Consult" is available on every page so you can move on to scheduling an appointment with an attorney as soon as you are ready. Don't be afraid to order a consult. You'll learn a lot, and we'll point you in the right direction as appropriate.


This AI Expert System is not intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice from an attorney! In fact, we strongly encourage you to hire an attorney to render a second opinion.
