BT&ABT&ALakeside Monroe County town — home services, retail, and established family businesses
Irondequoit sits between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay on Rochester's north side — a built-out, residential community with a long-standing base of home-service contractors, retail along Hudson Avenue and Titus Avenue, and food and hospitality businesses near the bay. Its mature housing stock keeps trades and home-improvement businesses busy year-round.
Many Irondequoit businesses are family-run and have operated informally for years. Formalizing as an LLC — for liability separation, a business bank account, or a succession plan — is often the trigger to call us. We handle the Monroe County filing and publication so the structure is clean before the next season or the next generation takes over.
Irondequoit's older housing stock keeps remodelers, landscapers, and home-service contractors busy. An LLC separates personal assets from job-site liability — we set it up correctly.
Retail and food businesses near Irondequoit Bay often need their LLC and EIN before a lease or seasonal opening. We sequence formation to your timeline.
Long-running family businesses formalizing or planning succession need the right operating agreement. We draft terms that match how the family actually runs and hands off the business.

“Business Therapy & Advisory delivered a true five-star experience from start to finish. They handled my entire business formation and entity structure seamlessly, turning what could have been a complicated process into something clear, organized, and stress-free. We were referred by our accountant, and I couldn't be more grateful for that connection. The team made everything straightforward and efficient while still keeping things personable. They matched my sense of humor (which is no small task) while maintaining the right level of expertise and guidance, making the entire experience comfortable and collaborative. I fully plan to continue working with Business Therapy & Advisory for future needs and will confidently recommend their services to other business owners, as well as friends and family.”
