Small Business Services

Working with small businesses is close to my heart. I grew up the son of a small business owner. Before I became a lawyer, I had my own contracting company. I believe that a good, small business attorney cares about the clients he serves and their business. I believe that he is committed to the success of the business. A small business attorney is a different breed than attorneys that service big corporations. We need to be more flexible, more creative, willing to step in alongside the business owner and get our hands dirty. If this is the kind of lawyer you want, then call me: Bob Vogel, 854-357-1949 or email rlvogel@robertvogellaw.com - our first consultation is free. Remember, The Vogel Law Firm is a small business, too. I believe that growing small businesses is the best way to rebuild America.

You’ve got skills, knowledge, and a work ethic that your customers will appreciate. Now, make sure you get the advice and structure you need to be successful starting a business. In addition to advice, Articles and Bylaws should be drafted for any business startup. These documents formally create your company and lay out how the company will be controlled and governed. If there is or will be more than one owner of your company, a Buy-Sell Agreement (also called a Shareholder’s Agreement) can be used to determine if and how ownership rights can be purchased, sold, or transferred to other people. You’ll also want to make sure that your new business is registered with the proper agencies, including the Secretary of State and the IRS. Finally, you’ll need to be sure that your company has written contracts for customers and contractors, as well as a structure that will allow you to hire employees and grow as it becomes more established.
