Business Plans
The first step most businesses take after deciding on an idea is to begin drafting their business plan. A business plan breaks down the key elements of the business. Generally, it will include information on the company, market analysis, services to be provided, information on the management, implementation strategy, financial plans, and other related information. The modern trend is to avoid drafting business plans or to draft brief plans; however, if an entrepreneur is seeking funding from a bank or a private offering, a business plan is a necessity. Our startup attorney will always recommend a business plan or, at the very minimum, a cash flow statement projecting the first few years of operations.
Our attorneys have reviewed and drafted a great deal of business plans. Their experience handling business plans from several different industries has provided them with a unique understanding that benefits our clients. If you're an entrepreneur looking to start a business, our startup attorneys will be able to provide sound advice and we invite you to
contact our law office to set up an initial meeting.
Sacramento Startup Formations
Forming a startup company can be a difficult task. Several projections need to exist in order to know whether a limited liability company or a corporation is more appropriate. It depends partly on projected cash flows, investor opportunities, and exit strategies. Questions an entrepreneur should ask, for example, are whether the startup will be offering employee stock incentives or health insurance. Our Sacramento startup attorneys are familiar with the different relevant factors and can walk an entrepreneur through the process.
Internal Documents
The business attorneys at Rooted Legal PC are fully experienced in drafting internal documents for startups. Our business lawyers have drafted employee handbooks, meeting minutes, intellectual property assignments, acquisition documents, buy-sell agreements, and much more.
Unique and Flexible Billing Structures
Entrepreneurs and startups don't always have an abundance of capital at the beginning of their operations. Our business attorneys try to help by providing flexible billing structures. For example, our business attorneys can be "on-staff" counsel for your startup. Your startup can keep some funds in our law firm trust account and our attorneys will always be on call. The attorneys would deduct from our trust account based at an hourly rate.
Our law firm is also open to obtaining a percentage of interest from the startup and working at a reduced hourly rate. Alternatively, our attorneys might offer a reduced hourly rate until your startup obtains funding and then our business attorneys would be reimbursed the difference in fees. We also offer traditional billing structures, such as flat fee for certain services and hourly for other services.
Essentially, our business lawyers are open to unique and flexible billing structures. Learn more by contacting our law firm and setting up an initial consultation.
