I am starting a software business and I am not entirely sure how to proceed with incorporation and drafting an operating agreement.
I have one co-founder and we’ve been working together for a few months validating our product with our target market but have not started building. We are ready to start building but we’d like to have a business entity set up with a business bank account so that everything can stay organized under the business.
We’re not sure where to start or who to work with. I’ve found some start-up attorneys through Google searches and have considered options like Stripe Atlas and Clerky but I’m not sure how important it is to have a lawyer handle everything vs. an automated “service”.
Does anyone have experience finding the right attorney to work with or using a service like Stripe Atlas?
It is usually a good idea to go to a lawyer for the shareholders agreement, but I suggest you do a lot of research and develop some understanding yourself. If you are just going to some random lawyer and you don’t have much to contribute you are probably just as well off downloading something from the internet, which is probably what the lawyer would do anyway.
