Legal Resources for Small Businesses

Small businesses are often at a disadvantage when it comes to legal issues. Hiring a lawyer can cost a pretty penny, but not hiring one can cost a fortune. However,  online legal resource can help you sort through some situations without a penny.

Small business owners can get information on choosing and forming the right legal structure for your business, legal tips on day-to-day business operations, an overview of employment law issues, and much more..

Here are some very helpful sites to visit:

• http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com
• http://www.legalzoom.com
• http://www.nfib.com/business-resources/legal-help/legal-tips
• http://nolo.com
• http://www.score.org/topics/legal-issues-includes-business-licenses

And some articles I have found interesting:

• Would You Fire Someone for Eating Leftovers?

• The Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act: The Solution Or Just Getting In The Way?

• Google Takes Aim At Lawyers

If the sites above don’t help, try contacting your local SCORE chapter.  They boast a very interesting stat on their site – 91% of businesses that worked with SCORE in 2010 are still in business. Their experts can help you determine if you do need to hire a lawyer.
