Formation & Dissolution
Start Strong. End Well. Grow Intentionally.
Every business has a story…
— and every chapter deserves intention. At Ellipsis Consulting, we help entrepreneurs and small business owners navigate the pivotal moments of their journey, whether that means starting fresh, closing a chapter, or realigning midstream.
Forming a business can feel like the beginning of a beautiful relationship — full of energy, excitement, and vision. But as with any partnership, success depends on communication, structure, and shared understanding. We help business owners lay that foundation thoughtfully: from selecting the right entity type to setting up agreements that protect both your investment and your peace of mind.
And when it’s time to dissolve or reimagine what you’ve built, emotions often run high. It can feel a lot like a divorce — full of history, heart, and sometimes hurt. In these moments, having a steady, neutral guide matters. That’s where we come in. Acting as a kind of business mediator, we help partners separate with respect, fairness, and minimal fallout — preserving relationships and reputations in the process. Because ending well is just as important as beginning well.
Formation: Building a Strong Start
Launching a business is exciting — but it’s also full of decisions that can impact the future of your venture.
We help you:
Choose the right legal structure (LLC, partnership, or corporation)
Draft agreements that protect partners, investments, and vision
Define roles, responsibilities, and expectations from the outset
Build intentional systems for communication, decision-making, and growth
Align strategy with your long-term goals and values
With the right foundation, you can start strong — and avoid costly missteps down the road.
Dissolution: Ending with Integrity
Closing or separating a business can feel like a divorce — emotional, complex, and sometimes messy.
We help you:
Navigate partner separation or business closure with fairness and professionalism
Mediate conversations when tension or emotion is high
Protect relationships, reputations, and financial stability
Ensure all legal and operational steps are completed efficiently
Leave the chapter closed — not chaotic — so you’re ready for what’s next
Ending well is just as important as starting strong.
