What Do I Need to Know About Choosing a Name for a New Business?
You probably already have ideas about the name you’d like for your business. But you need to consider legal issues before you start ordering signs and business cards. Every state has rules about the names that new business entities can use, and in general, you can’t choose a name that is the same or is deceptively similar to a name another business is already using. If you operate or plan to operate in multiple states, your name search and registration should cover all of your potential markets. If you would like to discuss any of these subjects, contact us for a free consultation.
The Process
Executing a Confidentiality Agreement
This is like dating- the parties begin to find things out about each other.
These are commonly signed before any information is given out about the Seller.
While not a “standard” form, these agreements are generally all similar.
After confidentiality agreement is signed the Buyer normally receives a significant amount of information about the Seller.
Most businesses are sold by first time sellers. This blog is intended to provide you some insight on the process of selling your business.
Lawsuits from employees
Adopt internal written policies and procedures, job descriptions, employment contracts and employee manuals and follow them even if you don't want to. Policies which are not enforced or enforced selectively may not be policies at all.
