Business

There are legal issues to consider when starting or running a business:

• registering your business name
• buying a franchise
• incorporating
• getting investors
• signing a lease
• dealing with employees

The goal of legal advice is to prevent future problems. Two friends might go into business together with the expectation that things will always be rosy. From a legal standpoint, it’s wise to have formal agreements drawn up at the beginning of a business relationship to prevent disagreements and conflict later on.
