If you are in the process of starting your own business or just daydreaming about it, legal questions and concerns can be enough to throw in the towel altogether. There is so much to learn and work through to ensure the legal viability of your business, but we are here to help.

Four Business Law Considerations for Entrepreneurs

Here are four business law considerations for new entrepreneurs:

  1. Intellectual Property Laws – Every entrepreneur will need to consider intellectual property laws in one way or another. From trademarks to patents to copyrights, you need to ensure your intellectual assets are secure and that you aren’t infringing on another company’s intellectual property. Without the help of a legal team like ours, this can be a daunting and risky task.
  2. Business Tax Laws – Business taxes are an essential part of business law. You’ll need to consider income and employment taxes along with other taxes specific to your industry.
  3. Employment Laws – If you have employees, you’ll need to make sure you are abiding by all federal and state employment laws. Matters of health insurance, equal opportunity hiring, wages, working conditions, and more must all be accounted for so that your business operates above board.
  4. Advertising Laws – The internet has made small business advertising easier than ever, but you still have to abide by advertising laws. Everything from using legal marketing assets like images to proper usage of client testimonials and email marketing are essential for business owners to know.
