Starting a business is exciting, but has many legal details that must be managed. The form of the business entity must be determined, based upon the expected growth, tax rates and other factors. Are you interested in creating a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation? Will you be working with outside contractors? Do you plan to hire employees? Will you need an office or property on which to conduct your business? Do you have intellectual property, trade secrets or technology you use to manufacture your product or conduct your day-to-day operations? If so, do you have any agreements in place to protect your proprietary information? All of these are questions are critical points to address when creating a new enterprise.
