● Cheaper than hiring an attorney
● Covers many legal aspects of running a business such as:
○ Contract review
○ Operating agreements
○ Filing as legal entity (LLC, S-CORP etc.)

need when you are first starting out
3. 3 Critical questions
1. Have they worked with a technology-based business
before?
2. Have they specifically worked with someone who
offers web design services?
3. Can they explain legal and financial aspects of a
web design business in plain English? (Ask for a
demonstration)
4. The biggest factor here is that they can explain things in a
way you understand them clearly
Prior experience is not absolutely necessary - if they don’t
have experience, ask them what they will do to educate
themselves on the intricacies of your business
Make sure that you understand how they speak, and that
you can get along with them
If you are put off by their personality - do not hire them!
