Cincinnati Startup Attorney Ready To Guide Your Startup Goals

After the success of startups like Facebook, Amazon, Snapchat, and Instagram, many aspiring entrepreneurs – in tech and other thriving industries – are hoping to think of the next great idea to launch their own careers as successful business owners. An entrepreneur like yourself needs the help of an experienced Cincinnati startup attorney to help ensure your startup is properly set up, so you can make your business a raging success.

This is where a skilled startup attorney can be the difference between another failed startup and a successful, scalable business. Tech startups have unique needs that distinguish them from other, more conventional businesses such as marketing agencies, restaurants, retail stores, manufacturing companies, or consulting firms. Forming a tech startup the same way you would form one of these conventional businesses is exactly the wrong way to do it. With our experience and guidance, many startup founders have taken their dreams and turned them into reality.

    Formation and Governance

    We represent individual entrepreneurs in entity formation and ongoing governance issues. After listening to and critically evaluating our clients’ business plans and short term and long term objectives, we will develop the optimal legal structure for their business based on considerations of liability, tax, and securities law issues. Generally, a tech startup that intends to raise venture capital and scale quickly needs to be set up as a corporation. We can craft the formation documents, shareholder agreements, bylaws, and other documents to suit the unique issues presented by our clients’ business plans.

    Equity and Debt Financing

    Most start-ups and emerging technology companies will require outside financing to grow. To raise external funding, a company will need to issue debt or sell shares to investors. This venture financing process follows a particular set of rules. Deviating from those rules and guidelines could mean the loss of financing opportunities and the start-up’s failure. However, even though the process follows a particular set of rules, that doesn’t mean the financing terms and documents have to. We can help you craft terms that will serve your needs, and customize the complex financing documents (such as convertible notes and SAFEs), to protect your company’s interests.

    When our clients need initial or additional operating capital, we can structure and document private placements, provide counsel regarding debt and equity financings, and assist with commercial loans, including negotiating favorable terms and conditions and advising on securities law compliance at the federal and state levels. We can assist start-ups with our knowledge of SAFE, KISS, and Preferred stock financing terms from angel and venture investors, as well. We have helped numerous clients with friends & family rounds, seed rounds, and Series A financings.
