How We Help You Create a World-Class
Florida Business Plan

From the opportunity statement through financing, a solid business plan from an experienced attorney is going to be straightforward and easy-to-follow. Having a business plan that only collects dust on the shelf is of no use, which is why our business planning process was designed to provide you with a useful tool from day one.

Creating the Best Environment for Your
Business to Thrive

When you’re first starting out, especially for foreign owners looking to start a business in Florida, all the steps that need to occur to have a legal business can seem daunting. Our team takes time during the initial business planning phases to really understand your existing situation to help recommend the best course of action.

Things like setting up an LLC vs. a corporation, understanding commercial leases (Florida Landlord Tenant Law), and drafting contracts all have legal considerations that need to be weighed carefully with an experienced business planning attorney.

Getting the Best Rates on Startup Loans

Financial planning is arguably one of the most important steps needed for a successful business. Most owners seek some form of startup capital. Whether that’s as a loan from the SBA or a private bank, the loan agreement outlines all of the terms for the business to repay the debt over time.

But how do you know if you’re getting the most favorable terms for your business loan? Our business attorneys know what to look for within your loan agreement to make sure the terms are ideal for your given situation.

Making Sure You’re in Regulatory Compliance with Proper Licensure

As experts in Florida business law, our team knows the best ways to navigate setting up and running a business within the Florida regulatory environment. There are many different governing authorities at the local, state and federal levels that have requirements for certain types of business to operate. Local ordinances requiring specific permits, the state requiring current licensure, or any number of other regulatory issues can all affect your company’s ability to operate.

Our Florida business lawyers can help guide you through regulatory hurdles like permitting and licensure to ensure your business remains in compliance. Certain locations may also have increased regulatory requirements for manufacturing, distribution, and/or importing and exporting. Our attorneys help you navigate all the regulations affecting your business so you can focus on growing your business.

Protecting Intellectual Capital

When you’ve got a great concept, product or service, it’s important to take steps to protect your intellectual property. Having a business lawyer well-versed in intellectual property law helps preserve your interest in your unique design and make sure you retain this competitive advantage for as long as the law allows. Experienced business lawyers can help with things like getting a trademark.

Growing Your Business

Our business planning attorneys are right with you every step of your business’s growth to help you achieve the best results. We provide business growth legal counsel with things like getting a permit for additional space, reviewing contracts, and helping you get favorable lending terms.

Business Planning for Succession

One of the most important steps within the business planning process is succession planning. Our business lawyers help you uncover areas of vulnerability so you can take steps to lessen any potential impacts. Business succession requires a plan for continuity, which encompasses everything from personnel to equipment.

Examples of issues that may face a business at some point include:

  • Losing key employees/loss of intrinsic knowledge.
  • Experiencing a loss event (fires, floods, and other perils) and negotiating with an insurance adjuster.
  • Transfer of ownership.
  • Contract disputes with vendors/suppliers.
  • E-commerce regulatory restrictions.

Each of the above examples requires a careful and practiced review of the governing documents (contracts, Policies & Procedures, legal statute, etc.) in order to develop a plan of action. On any issues like these, we’ll deep dive with you to come up with a real-world strategy to preserve the legacy of the business you’ve worked so hard to build.
