Dotting I’s, Crossing T’s will meet
with you to discuss your particular needs, including:
We
will review your business plan and highlight potential legal issues that you
may have underestimated or overlooked. We can then work with you on ways to
correct those issues.
Is your business incorporated? Or
are you thinking of incorporating? We can review your incorporation options.
This includes the benefits and weaknesses of incorporating your business, where
to incorporate, and the continuing obligations of an incorporated business to
governmental agencies.
The current economic situation poses
unique challenges to businesses, especially start-ups. In tough economic times,
law suits increase as people and businesses seek to maximize the money recouped
from failed or bad business deals.
In addition, some industries have
seen an increase in frivolous law suits by those seeking a one-time big payday.
A recent Wall Street Journal article
highlighted the growing number of lawsuits in the food industry.[1]
The increase in litigation has been fueled, in part, by people seeing a lawsuit
against a company as chance to win the law-lottery jackpot.
We will highlight the common errors businesses make that increase
the chances of being sued or being forced to pay a large settlement/judgment.
We will work with you to devise plans and procedures for your business to
minimize your legal exposure.
Not
knowing what rules and regulations apply to your business is dangerous. Failure
to comply with Regulatory Agencies’ rules can be costly to business. You might
have to pay a large fine or worse, be forced to close your business. We will
discuss with you the rules applicable to your business and location, including
zoning matters, licensing and permitting rules.
The review undertaken of your company will generate a report highlighting not only potential problems, but also advice as to the best way to capitalize on your strengths. This will allow your business a greater opportunity to not just survive, but thrive.
