Starting a new business is an exciting endeavor. As a small business serving the Triangle Area the Thornton Law Firm specializes in small business setup and the drafting of the various documents needed. 
Many new business owners wonder if they can save more money by drafting and filing small business paperwork without an attorney. The answer to that question is complex depending on the type of business, your level or expertise in owning and operating a business and your knowledge of regulations and laws impacting business owners in North Carolina.
3 things to consider before drafting and filing small business documents without an attorney:
- Business Complexity: Sole proprietorship is the simplest form of business. Partnerships, LLCs and corporations are more complex entities and require several documents. An experienced attorney can ensure those documents are completed and filed accurately.
- Business Ownership: Attorneys can assist with a variety of issues business owners face. New business owners may need assistance with trademarking, reviewing lease agreements and preparing incorporation forms. First time business owners may need an experienced expert to guide them through these aspects of business ownership.
- Legal Documents Needed: There are many forms available online, but the one size fits all approach won’t work for all businesses.
Hiring an attorney before you draft and file your small business paperwork can be a smart business move. The Thornton Law Firm serves the Raleigh-Durham area and can bring its knowledge and expertise to you.
