You’re venturing into the world of entrepreneurship.

You’ve decided to venture into the world of entrepreneurship. As you move forward, be smart and take the steps that allow you to build and protect the business that you envision.

You will need help. All business owners – whether new or experienced - need assistance. There’s a lot you don’t know and will need to learn. There’s also a lot that needs to be done for your business that isn’t the best use of your time.

Your focus should be starting and operating your business – your product and service offerings, your brand, and your operations - not the details of the legalities that protect the business.

You need a solid legal foundation.

Establishing a strong legal foundation is critical. Most businesses should be established as a legal entity with the appropriate government entity. From there, you’ll need to know how to keep your business in good legal standing through your day-to-day operations and over the years to come.

Getting important agreements and contracts in place is also essential.

  • What is the understanding about obligations and responsibilities between you and your partners?

  • How will your clients be clear on the services you provide and what they cost?

  • What do you do to keep your contractors from taking your customers?

  • What do you do when you just need help with a decision you need to make?

We can help you:

  • Start a professional services company

  • Open a brick and mortar store

  • Start a new business that will eventually allow you to transition from your full-time job to full time business ownership

  • Create ways to monetize a hobby or other activity about which you are passionate

  • Establish a properly licensed home-based enterprise

We often find ourselves putting out fires or addressing short-term issues, instead of focusing on taking actions that will result in long-term growth and profitability for the business.

Franchising is different. Unique. It is unique because (1) you’re dealing with a concept that has already been proven, (2) that concept comes with instructions, and (3) there is a third party who has a direct financial, ongoing interest in your success - the franchisor. It’s a great model for some. Is it the right model for you?
