We provide assistance with the following and many other legal matters related to the formation of your small business.
- Protection – When you launch a small business, whether a brick and mortar shop or an online business, you need to protect your personal assets from possible lawsuits and unmanageable business debts. A good first step in this direction is obtaining business liability insurance. However, if you think your business will involved accruing large amount of business debt, it’s usually a good idea to form either a corporation or LLC (limited liability company).
- Protecting Trade Secrets – One way to foster the success of your startup is to weave into your business trade secrets. These can be anything from a unique survey method or marketing strategy to a highly cost-effective manufacturing process that makes you a strong competitor in your industry. Then you must protect these trade secrets. This can be done by placing the word “Confidential” on secret documents, ensuring highest computer security and password protection policies that limit access, and taking advantage of nondisclosure agreements or non-compete agreements designed to keep your trade secrets safe from those who would sell them or steal them under employment.
- Put it in Writing – Protect your self and your business by putting everything in writing. If it’s not written down somewhere, it’s next to impossible to prove. What items should always be put into writing? Contracts, for one, especially those that will extend for greater than 12 months; that will include selling items valued at greater than $500, or that involve the transfer of ownership, whether this involved real estate or a copyright. Other items that should always be written include purchase orders, employment offer letters or policies, storage/rental agreements, and contracts written up for services rendered or obtained.
