Do First

Legal Consult
By this time you should have a legal consultation with an attorney � if you have not already had one.Topics to address are: entity type, employee documents, partnership agreements, licenses and other permits, contracts, terms of service for customers. The CPA you consulted with might have some suggested legal questions for you to ask the attorney. Most attorneys will give you a free 30 minute to 45 minute consultation. Most new clients do not pay for the initial consultation, so please ask them about it. You can also negotiate fees. Some will do a package, some will do flat fees, some will hand off template work to a paralegal or Jr attorney. You don't need to pay partner rates for basic legal work.
