Small Business Start-up: Finding a Lawyer
If you are starting a small business, one of the first things you can do that will benefit you is to consult with an experienced business attorney. It is important to get an unbiased legal opinion about the state of your finances, business plan, and any legal issues that may arise. As soon as you have a solid idea of what you want your business to be and have done some research into the market, you are probably ready to start looking for a lawyer.
What to Bring
It can be helpful if you bring some legal documents that contain any of the details of your business. Also, documents that paint a picture of how you envision your business functioning are important. You may want to include:
- Your business plan
- A list of possible investors
- A proposal for your business structure, with possible directors and executives included
- Copies of any important documents that already exist for your business, such as minutes for a meeting
- A list of contractors you plan to work with
Having these documents ready can help expedite the process of getting to know your attorney and determining if they indeed are the right attorney for you.
