Work with a lawyer to cut through the clutter
If you’re not familiar with the federal and state licensing requirements for your business, finding the right applications and filling them out correctly can seem daunting. Working with an experienced small business lawyer can make the process much faster and nearly painless. Lawyers can help in several ways.
- Quickly identify the licenses and permits your business needs
- Explain the process to eliminate confusion and frustration
- Easily locate all the necessary forms and applications
- Guide you through filling out and submitting applications correctly
- Help you navigate the approval process
For as little as $49/month you get unlimited consultation time with a lawyer that has experience with federal and state business licensing.
Apply for licenses and permits with confidence
Some permits require filling out a simple online application that takes 5 minutes. Other licenses, such as a state liquor license, can be complicated, take a year and cost upwards of $300,000 to purchase from a private party.
Whatever the nature of the licenses you need, having a lawyer on your team allows you to enter the application process with the confidence. You won’t have to guess about whether you’re filling out the forms correctly. Your chances of success go up while your stress goes down.
As a LegalShield member, you can submit applications for review by your lawyer prior to filing. Also, you can have your lawyer make phone calls and write letters to government agencies to facilitate the approval process for no additional fee.
