Starting a New Business

When starting a new business endeavor there are many decisions to make, such as choice of entity, obtaining licenses or permits, leasing space, and even hiring employees. Let Budge Law Offices help you with these decisions. Since all we do is represent small businesses, we can help you in every step along the way.

We will guide you through the process of choosing the right type of entity to setup by helping you identify the business entity that will best meet the needs of your business. Whether your new business will be best served as an S Corporation, an LLC, a general partnership, or even as a sole proprietor, we can effectively represent you.

We also understand that in starting any new business funds are limited. We offer competitive and reasonable fixed-fee packages that facilitate start-up.  For a flat fee we will:

• Draft and file the Articles of Incorporation
• Draft Bylaws
• Prepare the First Written Action of your organization
• Draft the owner’s Contribution Agreement
• Provide you with a detailed summary on how to best manage your business to protect you from legal liability

Once your business entity is formed we can help address the practical needs of starting a new company such as negotiating commercial leases, advising on employment related matters, advising on intellectual property matters (including drafing a non-disclosure agreement for your business, advising on trademark and copyright law), drafting form agreements for use in your business as well as drafting and negotiating supplier or distribution contracts.  We can also help you with drafting ownership agreements and setting up a board of directors. Again, we offer reasonable fixed fee packages to address all of these issues.
