While forming an LLC or Corporation might seem like the end of your legal journey, it’s just the beginning. Many founders think filing with the Secretary of State is enough, but without the additional legal protections a lawyer can provide—such as operating agreements or trademark clearances—they could be exposing themselves to costly legal risks. Don’t make the mistake of relying on templates or advice from social media groups. Consult a professional to ensure your business is fully protected from day one.
