The Business Check- Up
Whether you are planning on starting a business or have an existing business, a Business Legal Check Up is essential to the good health of your company. Simply put, any legal problems uncovered by the check up can be remedied before any damage is done, and money lost.
A business must be compliant with the law. Failure to do so puts the business at great risk. I often find business owners are fearful of the cost in keeping up with state and federal regulations and find after the check up that the cost is minimal and the owner immediately puts processes in place to ensure it is in compliance. They sleep better too!
During the business check up, I will examine your business structure and other documentary records to see if there are any gaps or if there can be improvements made. This is a free service. I am able to quite quickly determine if there are any areas for more thorough examination and will explain my concerns.
A basic Business Legal Check Up will provide a review of the following:
- Any Corporate records, filings and registrations;
- Contracts used by the business;
- Intellectual Property owned by the business;
- Regulatory Compliance (this is especially important as to employees);
- A review of the company’s web site for compliance;
- Is there a Business Succession Plan in pace
- Is the business consistent with procedures to maximize a purchase price if sold.
