Being an online business owner is HARD! With all the things you need to focus on, it's easy to neglect your legal... but at what cost?

 

This legal checklist includes professional tips and actionable steps you can take - a legal game plan of sorts - to make sure that your biz starts and stays legit, including  how you can:
 

• Pick a perfect business name and make sure that it's yours, and only yours!

​

• Figure out the best entity to operate your business (maybe it's not an LLC?)

​

• Stay compliant with all corporate laws to make sure that you stay shielded from personal liability.

​

• Implement and use contracts to eliminate surprises, establish boundaries, and look professional AF.

​

• Secure your legacy and grow your brand with intellectual property, like trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets.

​

• Keep your business from getting sued for IP infringement yourself.

​

• Stay compliant with privacy and marketing laws.

​

• Grow your team with employees or independent contractors (the legal way).
