Cookie cutter legal advice is a landmine/footgun for a business. Even Stripe Atlas will lead you down a dangerous path if you don't check with a lawyer when incorporating. Don't fuck around with business legalities, it ain't worth it.
Unfortunately, if you even think about your attorney, you'll be charged for it but the peace of mind is worth it.
Having a lawyer you trust, is timely to questions, and works fast is just a layer of stability you need so you can focus on the important parts of a startup. Legalzoom is garbage in this regard.
- mrosett 7y agoIt sounds like you have a story here about Stripe Atlas, although I'd understand if you're not eager to share.
- sbilstein 7y agoIt’s not a bad service at all and the staff are lovely and have fantastic events! However, if you incorporate with them have a lawyer review your docs and ensure you hit all timelines around filing correctly: buying your equity, submitting 83bs, state and federal stuff. The product makes you feel like it’s a one click thing but you need to check in with a lawyer to not forget anything. Most ppl who used Atlas have told me the same. I do recommend Atlas since you will save some money and you get some nice fringe benefits.
