Do you have a great idea or passion you want to turn into a business? Awesome! We would love to hear about it and help you get it off the ground! We help clients determine the proper entity type, complete the appropriate forms with the state and federal government, and draft the operating agreement. Once the Client is ready to operate, we work with Clients to negotiate vendor contracts or draft contracts for the Client to use with its customers. We also help clients think about the other “non-legal” stuff too, like finding insurance and a good accountant. If you are looking to start a new business, give us a call!
