As a business owner, do you need an attorney?
Drafting Articles of Incorporation and navigating the Secretary of State requirements can be arduous, but an experienced attorney can assist with this process. You will need to know if the name of your business is unique prior to applying, for example. We can also assist with preparing an Operating Agreement once your new business is successfully incorporated.
Do small businesses need a corporate attorney as well?
When you incorporate your business with the State of Illinois, you as the business owner can opt to be your own registered agent, or you can name your corporate attorney as your registered agent. The advantage of naming an attorney as your agent is that she is a point of contact, and she will be contacted when it is time to re-register your business each year. Your corporate attorney will stay on top of your annual re-registration requirements for your business, and contact you with updates so that it’s one less thing you need to think about.
