Starting a Business: Legal Considerations

A range of AzCI partners present: legal considerations for starting your venture: entity formation, partnerships, capitalization, and operating agreements.

Introduction

Starting a business can be fun and exciting, and often legal considerations fall last on the planning list. They may be difficult to navigate or seem unnecessary to address, but one wrong mistake can stop your venture in its tracks. For example, when considering a new partnership, it's important to share and commit to a common vision; to discuss and agree on the rules and management and have a shareholders or operating agreement in place.

The workshop addresses entity formation, partnerships, capitalization, and common mistakes often made during the start-up phase. It also provides a short list of basic agreements that every new business must have. The full video session has been generously provided by Snell & Wilmer, a full-service business law firm with more than 400 attorneys practicing in nine locations throughout the western United States and Mexico.
