Our neighbors to the north at the University of Cincinnati are doing some interesting things. According to Entrepreneur — via the UC News — their new innovation lab has set the city up to be the next big start-up center. At The Law Firm of Droder & Miller, that automatically makes us think of the legal issues surrounding setting up new businesses.
As you know, technology and innovation often come with a fair amount of risk. If you are an entrepreneur, you do everything you can to mitigate those risks by taking precautions. You might set up a solid business plan. You might raise enough capital to keep your momentum going. And, of course, you might give some thought to the legal structure of your business.
The right legal and ownership structure could help you in many ways. It could help prevent partner disputes down the road when you hit it big. It could facilitate your exit strategy. It could shield you from unnecessary risk. It could even help you in areas as diverse as tax, compliance, licensing and employment law.
