Starting a Business
If you are just beginning a business, you will have several questions. Many will be legal in nature. What form should my business take: a Chapter C corporation, a Subchapter S corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company or a simple sole proprietorship? What will your legal exposure be if you are sued? What type of insurance will you require? Will you need to buy or lease space? If you are entering a venture with others, what type of agreement should you negotiate? How can you protect your interests in the event of a dispute with your partners? If you are buying a business, what form should the purchase take and what sort of due diligence will you require?
I can help you answer these questions. I have helped numerous people just like you who need answers to their business questions. I have taught classes in business formation at Raritan Valley Community College. I have run my own business for years. I can provide you straightforward answers to your questions and can get you "up and running" quickly and efficiently. I can help you put in place the protections you may need to meet potential problems, whether with your partners, employees or others.
Every business is unique and has its own particular needs. Laying a proper foundation is essential to minimize problems down the road. You owe it to yourself to take steps to avoid unnecessary risks. If you are entering a business with others, you will need an agreement clearly defining the rights and obligations of the principals, especially in the event of deadlock or dissolution. If you are hiring employees or consultants, you may need nondisclosure and noncompete agreements. You may require more than one form of business entity to limit your overall risk. You will almost certainly require insurance tailored to your business needs.
In short, if you are willing to take the risks inherent in your business venture, you owe it to yourself to start off on the right foot. I can help.
