If you are considering starting a new business, you may be feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement. Putting your idea or your business skills out in the world is certainly exhilarating, but improper planning could land you in legal messes before you even begin growing. Here are a few tips for starting your new business venture wisely to assure it lasts as long as you want it to.
Get Started on the Right Foot
First, determine where you are in the entrepreneur process. Are you just tossing around the idea for a new business or are you already meeting with potential investors? It takes a lot of hard work and preparation before your first major business decisions even begin to happen, so don’t be frustrated with your situation if you aren’t quite ready to pull the trigger on your new company or idea quite yet.
Name It
Once you are ready to name your business, it’s time to protect yourself legally. When you meet with the team at Gandhi Selim Law, we will discover more about your short and long term goals before recommending a corporation, limited liability corporation (LLC), or other options for your business. Once you determine which is best with our guidance, we will set up the legal paperwork to register your company with the proper state and federal authorities.
Consider Employees
Most business owners end up needing to work with others in order to get their ideas off the ground. You may choose to hire full or parttime employees for your business, or you may work with independent contractors or freelancers. In any case, it is important you have the legal paperwork that assures everyone is on the same page.
Communicate with Partners
Finally, if you will be entering into business with someone else, it is crucial you get your partnership guidelines on the record. There is nothing worse than entering into a partnership without a legal document spelling out various scenarios that could happen weeks, months, or years after the business begins.
