Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an LLC or can I just operate under my name?
You can operate as a sole proprietor, but an LLC or corporation can protect your personal assets and give your business more credibility.
What kind of contracts should I have in place?
At minimum, you should have written agreements for clients, contractors, vendors, and any co-owners or partners. We can create or review those.
What happens if a customer won’t pay their invoice?
We can send a demand letter, negotiate a settlement, or file suit if needed. Quick legal action often gets results.
Can you help with employment law or HR issues?
Yes — while we don’t replace an HR department, we help with employment contracts, handbooks, and general legal compliance for small teams.
Do I need bylaws or an operating agreement if I’m the only owner?
Yes — even single-member LLCs should have documentation in place. It helps keep your business legally sound and protects you if challenged.
