@brethebrandlawyer: Starting a business? Don’t build the pretty stuff before you build the legal foundation 👀 Nobody gives you a step-by-step legal checklist when you become a business owner, so here’s the order I’d follow: Before your first sale: ✔️ Choose your business structure ✔️ Get your EIN ✔️ Open a business bank account Before you start collecting customer information: ✔️ Add your Privacy Policy ✔️ Add your Terms & Conditions Before you onboard your first client: ✔️ Have a signed service agreement And please don’t fall into the “it’s just a small project” trap. 😅 The legal foundation you build when your business is small can save you from a much bigger cleanup later. This isn’t about being scared of getting sued. It’s about building in the right order. Save this for when you’re setting up your business, and if you want the actual attorney-drafted templates to help you check these boxes, my New Business Owner Essentials Kit is linked in my bio. 💼🤍 #startingabusiness #newbusinessowner #businesstips #smallbusinesstips #womeninbusiness
