Why do I need a lawyer if I’m starting a business in Seattle?

One of the earliest decisions you have to make when starting a business is what type of business entity you want to use. Mistakes made in the early days of your business can come back to haunt you, so it is critical to make sound decisions from the start. An experienced attorney can keep you on track and guide you past the obstacles.

What is a business plan and how do I get one?

Your business plan is a written document that outlines your goals and how you expect to achieve them. It can include a competitive analysis of your market and show that your objectives are sustainable. A well-developed business plan is also key to seeking investors. An attorney can help you make sure that your plan is comprehensive, clear and that you have the appropriate liability protections in place.

What different types of business entities are there?

Businesses can be structured as sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations. There are pros and cons to each type, and – despite what you may have heard – a limited-liability corporation is not the best option for every operation.

How do I know which one is the right one?

The right business entity for your needs will depend a lot on your finances and need for investors, the number of owners involved, your tolerance for personal financial risk and the goals you have set.

Am I really ready to start a business?

If you have a clear vision for your business, the skills to run it and the passion to be a success, you are ready – you just need professional legal guidance to make sure that you have a clear picture of the risks and the support you need.
