Frequently Asked Questions for Reno Business Lawyers
Q: I want to start a business in Reno. What is the first legal step?
A: The first crucial step is choosing your business entity type. This is important because this will dictate you entity’s structure and the laws that govern it. Most small businesses choose to register an LLC for its liability protection and flexibility. Our start-up lawyer team can handle the entire Nevada LLC or Corporation formation process, including filing with the NV Secretary of State, drafting an operating agreement or bylaws, and securing your Nevada state or local city and county business license.
Q: What is the most important contract for my new business?
A: While needs vary, having an operating agreement or bylaws is usually the most important internal document for new businesses. Proper internal documents are important when separating personal liability from the liability of the company. When it comes to external contracts, an independent contractor agreement or service agreement is essential to define business relationships, scope of work, and payment terms.
