Legal and Financial Resources for the Entrepreneur

Protect Yourself Personally and Professionally 

Over 9 million people have used NOLO.com as a legal and financial resource center for both personal and business needs.  Nolo has do-it-yourself legal books, software and forms. Nolo is a tremendous resource and provides you with easy to understand information about your choices. 

Please understand ~ information is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom. You are still encouraged to schedule a personal visit with your accountant, attorney, and/or financial advisor to review the important legal and financial decisions that will impact your life.  This is serious business. 

Starting a New Business:

Choosing how you are going to run your business is an important decision that warrants serious consideration.  Are you going to do business as a sole proprietor, form an S Corporation or an LLC? The tax benefits, financial flexibility and personal protection have made LLC's the most popular entity for privately held businesses in the US. Is an LLC right for you?  I don't know. To get a better understanding of the ins and outs of different types of business structures, check out the NOLO.comresource center.
