For more than 65 years, we at Whyte & Associates have evolved and grown right alongside our many entrepreneurial clients in Rancho Cucamonga. We are proud to have helped these clients get their businesses off on the right footing. However, there may come a time when you, as a sole proprietor, need and want to incorporate. Congratulations!

In partnership with you, we minimize the time and headaches related to the incorporation process. In turn, there really is no excuse to go for it if you are at that stage in the business that necessitates incorporation, or any number of other situations may dictate the need to transition from a sole proprietorship to a C Corp, S Corp or other arrangement.

So, it is crucial that we meet with you to discuss your situation, needs, and goals. We have the solid experience and focused knowledge to help you make an informed decision about the next steps in your firm’s “life.”
