Small Business Agreements
The problems faced by small business owners don’t come with labels attached. Sometimes it’s hard to know whether the issue you are facing is a legal one, an ethical one, a business one or some combination of the three. Who do you turn to for guidance in sorting things out?
At Bowne Barry & Barry, we are proud to have been helping New Jersey small business owners identify, understand and successfully resolve their various challenges for well over a decade.
How do we do this?
Based upon our law partners’ decades of legal and business experience, we know the right questions to ask;
- short term goals
- long term goals
- business priorities
- operational concerns etc.
More importantly, we know how to listen to and understand your answers.
Our old-fashioned approach enables us to become our client’s thinking partner. It helps our clients move from uncertainty to empowerment and from intractable problem to practical solution.
Here are just a few examples of the types of questions we help New Jersey small business owners think through on a regular basis:
- Should my business be an LLC, an S Corp., a C Corp, etc.?
- What type of insurance do I need?
- Should I have employees or independent contractors?
- Do I need a policy manual?
- How enforceable is the non-compete language in my contract?
- Which licensing or ethical considerations relevant to my issue?
