New Year’s Task List for Business Owners

We should all take time periodically throughout the year to reflect on the past and to plan for the future. But the start of a new year presents the perfect opportunity to dive a little deeper into this mindset.  It is through this careful consideration that we can set meaningful goals and strategies to help us thrive in the coming year.

Small business owners have a unique set of considerations at the start of the year.   Business owners ought to take time to consider how to optimize the business operations for the coming year and plan measurable steps toward accomplishing their goals.  While reflecting on this, there are several key legal considerations that small business owners should address.  

• Is the business structure appropriate?  Has the business entity (and all trade names) been registered with the appropriate offices?  Were the appropriate formation documents created and executed? 

• Should the business secure any trademarks or copyrights?

• Have officers and managers been following the business formalities for the entity structure?  Are they keeping appropriate records?

• What contracts are in the business toolkit?  Are all leases, employment agreements, policies, and other contracts well-tailored to suit the business needs and reduce liability exposure?

Let Hudson Legal Services be a part of your team and assist you in addressing the above considerations.  Together we can prepare the legal documents you need, or review and modify your existing documents.  We can strategize regarding reducing your liability exposure and work together toward accomplishing great things this year for your business.
