Qualified Attorneys for Corporations or Nonprofit Start-ups

Get it right from the start -- Avoid challenges down the line

The contractual agreements that a business sets forth in the beginning can have ramifications that may mean the difference between failure and success. Attorneys at General Counsel, P.C. partner with clients to help with every aspect of starting a business, including securing the appropriate lease. This includes helping clients discern the best choice of entity to form, how to establish, register and create proper organizational documents for start-ups, and assisting in:

  • Name Availability Determination
  • Filing Articles of Organization or Incorporation to Register the Business
  • Labor & Employment Law
  • Government Contracts
  • 8(a) Certification for Minority-Owned Start-Ups
  • How to Hire or Fire an Employee
  • And More

Applying for an 8(a) Minority Owned Business

When you are starting a business, what you don't know can hurt you. The Small Business Administration says that the main reason applications for 8(a) and SDB certifications are rejected is because people fail to complete the paperwork properly or file the documents that the agency requires.
