Questions about Legal Services for Small Businesses Answered by a Florida Business Attorney

How can I find the right Florida Business Attorney for my small business?

Hiring the right Attorney for your startup is key. Therefore, you must do it carefully. Depending on the size and scale, businesses in Florida have different legal needs. The very first question you need to ask Florida Business Attorneys when interviewing them is whether they have experience working with small businesses. Hiring an attorney who understands the nuances of running a small business in Florida is crucial. Having experience working with large businesses does not automatically mean they can handle a small one.

If, for example, you run a food catering business, your lawyer will need to know about the various local and city permits and licenses your business needs to obtain before commencing operations. If you have an e-commerce business, your lawyer needs to be familiar with internet sale taxes across state lines.

What should be the budget for legal expenses?

Budgeting is a common concern among small business owners. Knowing how much you should expect to spend on legal matters is crucial. At Jurado & Farshchian, P.L., our attorneys understand that, when it comes to small businesses, every dollar counts. Your Jurado & Farshchian Florida Business Attorney will carefully analyze your business and provide a realistic budget for legal expenses that adapts to your needs and goals.

How can a small business owner protect personal assets from business risk?

The answer is rather straightforward. Follow these steps:

  1. Incorporate your small business,
  2. Treat your business as a separate entity with separate business bank accounts, and
  3. Document all decisions made during the course of the business.

How can an experienced Florida Business Attorney help a small business grow?

Quality legal services by an experienced Florida Business Attorney can help your small business grow in two ways:

  • Internally, Can build a foundation upon which your business can grow and expand; and
  • Externally, Can help your small business in contract negotiations, as some of those contracts can be very complex. An experienced attorney can get you favorable terms and protect you from taking on responsibilities that outweigh the benefits you will be receiving.

How can an experienced Florida Business Attorney help a small business save money?

An experienced Attorney can tell you what legal expenses are necessary and what is optional. For example, if you want to file ten trademark applications to cover your products, your attorney’s job is to see if there is a way to file fewer applications that include just as full of a scope, or at least to cover the most essential products.

How can I maximize the value of my Florida Business Attorney’s services?

Provide your Attorney with adequate context surrounding legal matters. For example, when you ask your attorney to review a contract you signed, you should provide a bit of history regarding the relationship between the parties that signed the contract and make sure your attorney knows how meaningful this relationship is to your business. Providing such an adequate context will allow your Florida Business Attorney to know precisely how aggressive they should be when handling the legal matter.

What should small business owners be aware of when purchasing an existing business?

When purchasing an existing business, be sure to:

  • Accurately determine the value of the business,
  • Meticulously review the business’s tax returns to gauge profitability,
  • Find the exact reason the business is for sale.

An experienced Florida Business Attorney can help you make sure you do not end up buying a problem rather than a profitable business. Get in touch with Jurado & Farshchian, P.L. today to learn more about our services.
