Why a custom framework
Templates get you started. Your operations decide the rest.
A business framework is the map of how companies, trusts, and subsidiaries sit together: who owns what, which entity operates, and where liability is supposed to stop.
One LLC is enough for many owners. When assets, partners, or risk need separate walls, a licensed attorney should design the stack before anything is filed.
What you leave with
- A structure that matches how you actually operate, not a one-size diagram
- Clear ownership and liability walls between holding, operating, and related entities
- Attorney-prepared formation documents that follow the sketch you approve
- Room to start from a proven framework or build a custom stack from scratch
Who this is for
Built for owners who need more than one company
Use a proven framework when it already fits. Create your own when the assets, partners, or risk need a different stack.
01
Holding and operating companies
Keep owned assets above the company that signs contracts, hires, and takes day-to-day risk.
02
Trust and LLC stacks
Place a trust at the top when estate, control, or succession planning has to sit with the companies.
03
Real estate and multi-asset owners
Separate properties or ventures so a problem in one holding is less likely to reach the rest.
04
Family offices and multi-entity groups
Coordinate subsidiaries, partners, and related companies in one attorney-designed plan.

A business framework is the planned stack of entities — such as a trust, holding company, operating company, or subsidiary — including who owns what and which company takes operating risk. It is the map attorneys use to prepare formation documents.
You start from a blank canvas or a proven template, then place the entities, ownership, and purpose that match how you operate. Our attorneys turn that sketch into formation documents instead of filing a one-size structure.
Yes. The trust holding, holding company, and holding-with-subsidiary stacks are starting points. You can adjust layers before attorneys prepare the documents and file.
No. Forming one LLC creates a single company. A framework is the plan for how multiple entities sit together. Use a single formation when one company is enough; use a framework when assets, partners, or risk need separate walls.
Yes. After you approve the structure, our attorneys prepare and file the formation documents for the entities in that plan. You are not left with a diagram and no paperwork.
Multi-entity stacks depend on how ownership, purpose, and liability are written. AmeriLawyer is a licensed law firm. Attorneys design the structure and prepare the documents so the filings match the plan.
