gotten several questions recently about the legalities of starting a business. So Nike Air Huarache OG Australia , this week I thought I would address a few of the more common legal issues most new businesses face. But first, let's get the mandatory legal disclaimer out of the way: the advice dispensed by this columnist is probably no better or worse than the advice dispensed by other columnists. Do not take the following advice as gospel or bet the future of your business on any advice given herein by said columnist.


Agreed? Good, let's proceed.


To begin, here's the best legal advice I can give you as a new business person: find yourself a good lawyer and make him or her your very best friend. Granted Nike Air Huarache Hyper Punch Australia , your new best friend will charge you an hourly fee for chatting on the phone or talking business over lunch, but you'll find it to be money well spent. A good attorney can save you far more than the cost of his services. I rarely make any decision that has the potential to impact my business without first consulting my attorney.


You can locate an attorney through legal referral services or just by opening the phone book, but the best way to find a really good attorney is to ask other business owners for references.


You want an attorney who specializes in business matters. A few of the things you may need legal help with are: legal business formation, articles of incorporation Nike Air Huarache Love Hate Australia , trademarks and copyrights, investment documents, employee policies, etc. You may find that a single attorney can't meet all your needs Nike Air Huarache Ultra Breathe Australia , but if you use a larger firm they will have attorneys on staff that can provide the specialized services you require.


Now, let's take a brief look at a few questions I've received regarding the legalities of starting a new business.


What's a DBA? "DBA" stands for "doing business as." A DBA is another name that you use in the operation of your business other than the legal name. For example, "Jones, Inc." might be the legal corporate name of your business Nike Air Huarache Womens Australia , but you might use "Bob Jones Landscaping" as the everyday business name. In this case, you would see the business described in legal context as "Jones, Inc. Doing Business As Bob Jones Landscaping."


Here's an example of using a DBA to launch a new venture within an existing business. A reader asked: "My wife incorporated a multimedia business three years ago, and I am starting a voice-over business. Is it more beneficial for me to open as a sole proprietorship or to operate within her multimedia business?"


My answer was that he should open his company as a division of his wife's business Nike Air Huarache Australia , operating as a DBA. Even though he is using his own business name (the DBA), technically his wife's corporation is launching the service and therefore will give him some liability protection. Doing so would also help him save on start-up costs (such as having to pay for a separate incorporation). It's relatively simple to keep a separate set of books, and when the new business takes off, he can spin it off into a separate entity.


Will a corporation protect me from liability? It can www.huaracheau.net , if handled correctly. You may have heard about the "corporate veil," which means that you can't be sued personally for anything that happens in the corporation and your personal assets can't be attacked by creditors or a lawsuit on the corporation. But in order to have this protection, you must act like a corporation. This means conducting board meetings, taking notes and publishing minutes in your corporate book.


In addition Cheap Nike Huarache Australia , be sure to have a separate corporate checking account and, if you need them, corporate credit cards. Don't use corporate money for personal purchases, and vice versa (unless you file an expense report). Many people think they don't need to go to all this trouble if there is just one or two people in the company Nike Huarache Australia Sale , but in order to be treated like a corporation, you must act like one.
