Certain matters, such as issues outside your business state, are included only on specific plan tiers. If your situation isn’t fully covered—whether it’s out-of-state support or a specialized legal matter—your provider law firm can still help through our Member Discount, giving you savings off their standard hourly rates.

Small businesses across a wide range of industries can benefit from our services. This includes consultants, contractors, retailers, service providers, startups, freelancers, and growing companies. Running a small business means making legal decisions all the time — contracts, compliance, customer issues, and more. LegalShield Small Business plans give businesses of all kinds affordable access to experienced lawyers who can answer questions, review documents, and step in when needed, so you don't have to handle legal issues alone or worry about unpredictable hourly legal fees.
Business owners can get help with a wide range of legal topics, including contract questions, business formation, compliance requirements, vendor and customer disputes, and employee-related issues.
The lawyers can review a wide variety of business documents, including vendor agreements, client contracts, leases, service agreements, NDAs, and partnership agreements. They’ll examine the document before you sign and help identify potential risks, unclear terms, and important legal considerations.
Employees can communicate with the lawyer only if they are listed as designated spokespersons on the account.
If you need legal support beyond what’s included in your plan, you can continue working with your provider law firm at a discounted rate. Members receive the following discounts on additional services:
- Small Business Basic Plan: 15%
- Small Business Preferred Plan: 20%
- Small Business Premium Plan: 25%

A provider lawyer can also:
- Conduct legal research
- Send letters or make phone calls on your behalf of your business
- Review property-related documents
This ensures you have the legal support you need to manage your rental business with confidence.

These services still follow the limits of the personal plan, but the usual business exclusion is waived.
