Start-Ups & Small Businesses
Launching or growing a business is exciting, but it also comes with complex legal decisions that can shape your long-term success. At R/A/Z Law Group, we help entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, and franchise owners build strong foundations through thoughtful legal guidance, tailored contracts, and practical strategies for growth.
1
Entity Formation & Business Structuring
Choosing the right legal entity is one of the first and most important steps for any start-up. We advise clients on LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, helping them weigh liability protection, tax implications, and growth plans. With the right structure in place, you can confidently move forward knowing your business is protected.
2
Commercial Leasing & Real Estate
For start-ups and franchises alike, your lease can be one of the biggest factors in your success. We negotiate favorable terms, identify hidden costs, and protect you from long-term risks. Whether it’s retail space, a dental office, or franchise location, our experience helps you secure a lease that aligns with your business goals.
3
Buying or Selling a Business
Business transitions are complex and require careful planning. We represent buyers and sellers in practice and business sales, ensuring every contract and financial term is structured to support long-term success. From due diligence to closing, our team ensures a smooth process that protects your investment.
4
Franchise Agreements
Franchising can be a great way to start or expand a business, but franchise agreements are often written to favor the franchisor. We review and negotiate terms to protect franchisees, ensuring you understand your obligations and opportunities before you commit.
5
Employment & Associate Agreements
As your business grows, bringing on employees or associates requires clear, enforceable agreements. We draft and review contracts that address compensation, responsibilities, termination, and non-compete clauses. Our goal is to protect your business while fostering strong working relationships.
6
Financing & Lending Support
Access to capital is crucial for new businesses and expansions. We guide clients through financing options, from SBA loans to industry-specific lenders, ensuring the terms align with your growth strategy.
