Starting a business is an exciting time. You are at the start of a great journey and are excited by the challenges ahead. You have a great idea, but then you are confronted with a complex legal landscape. Here are some of the ways we can help.
Choosing the appropriate business entity
There are so many choices out there. A limited liability company may be the best idea, but there are tax consequences that should be considered, such as profits and losses passing through to your personal tax return. We can help you decide which business entity is right for you.
Registering your business entity
You can only register your business as a domestic entity in one state. But which one? Delaware is often chosen because of its laws that are favorable to businesses, but there are additional costs. So, for you, perhaps your home state is a better place to file. We can help you decide where to file, and then take care of filing for you.
Leasing commercial rental space
Commercial leases are much longer and filled with provisions that can harm your business. They are almost always one-sided, meant to protect large commercial real estate landlords. We can help you get and keep the perfect space to start your business.
Drafting sales representation agreements
You are ready to recruit a sales representative to help grow your business. But have you considered what commission percentage to offer your independent contractor? What territory will they have? We can help you make sure that you offer the proper incentives to help grow your business.
Drafting non-disclosure agreements
Sure, you want to trust your business partners, but you still want to make sure they will not divulge any sensitive information about your business. But perhaps they want to make sure you keep their secrets as well? We can help you decide if a one-way or mutual confidentiality agreement is appropriate given the circumstances.
