Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about startup services.
When should I formalize my startup's legal structure?
It’s advisable to establish a formal legal structure before you start conducting business, accepting outside investment, or bringing on co-founders or employees. Early formalisation protects personal assets, clarifies ownership, facilitates proper tax treatment, and creates a foundation for growth.
How should I structure equity arrangements with co-founders?
Co-founder equity arrangements should address initial ownership percentages, vesting schedules, roles and responsibilities, intellectual-property assignments, and exit provisions. Documenting these terms clearly prevents future disputes and aligns incentives for long-term success.
What legal considerations are important when raising capital?
Capital raises require compliance with securities laws, preparation of offering documents, negotiation of term sheets and investment agreements, corporate-governance updates, and management of disclosure obligations. We guide startups through each step to secure funding while protecting the company’s interests.
