⚠ A HANDS-ON GUIDE WITH EXERCISES TO HELP YOU APPLY CRITICAL LEGAL PRINCIPLES TO YOUR BUSINESS 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND $700/HOUR ON AN ATTORNEY TO KNOW THE BASICS OF HOW TO SET UP A BUSINESS IN THE US

Starting a business can be daunting.

You had to create a business idea, a sample of your product or service, and understand whether there is enough demand to make it profitable.

The risk of losing all your money is real.

And not only that.

You need to make legal decisions upfront that impact how you operate your business going forward.

A standard piece of advice is to talk to a business lawyer.

Ok. But.

How much does it cost? And what should you ask him/her?

Don't you think you should maximize your time and money?

In our book, you'll find the guidance and reassurance you need to navigate the legal journey of starting a business.

We provide you with the basic level of expertise you would get from a business lawyer - but at a fraction of the cost.

Read the conversation of four successful entrepreneurs, Maria, Andy, Pete, and Darius, with Phil Crowley, an attorney with decades of experience helping companies in several industries mitigate risks during business formation and scaling up.

Using a conversational format and language tailored for non-business professionals, Phil explains the important legal principles you must know, empowering you to handle the legal aspects of your business with confidence.

In this guide, you'll discover:

What are the pros and cons of Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, LLC, and Corporation? Which entity is right for you?

What is a B-Corporation?

Is there a best state to incorporate in?

Why should I have a formal agreement with my partners?

What are the critical components of an operating agreement?

How do I protect my company's intellectual property?

What are the tax implications of employee incentive plans?

What should I put in place right from the beginning to ensure a smooth exit?

You will also have access directly inside the book to a guide that will help you make decisions about your business before taking action.

The Legal Side of Starting a Business is not just another book on the market; it's a unique resource that will guide you through the legal aspects of your business, whether you're just starting out or already have an existing business.
