Legal Advice for Home-Based Business
Home Business Add-On tailored to your home business
Hiring a law firm for your home-based business can be expensive. And with DIY legal websites, you may not know the best actions to take or have access to consultation with a lawyer when you need it. LegalShield’s Home Business Add-On provides access to a provider law firm for a wide variety of business legal matters for a small additional amount per month. You’ll receive a year’s worth of unlimited consultation and a multitude of actual services for around the cost of one consultation with a lawyer elsewhere. You might be self-employed, but you’re not on your own. Get legal assistance that’s tailored to your unique needs, enabling you to focus on what you do best—running your home business.
What’s included in your Personal Plan Add-On:
Receive advice and consultation on business legal matters related to your home business, plus 1 hour of research on each matter as needed.**
**This does not include business legal matters covered under designated consultations. Certain business legal matters are not covered.
A provider lawyer will advise you on business legal matters including tax, patent, trademark, copyright, or antitrust. Receive up to 3 annual designated phone consultations each year, of up to 30 minutes in length.
A provider lawyer can provide further help with business legal matters by sending letters or making phone calls on behalf of your home business. Receive any combination of 12 letters or phone calls annually for in-state business legal matters, each on a unique business matter, with 1 follow-up communication if a response is received from a third party.
(Additional letters or phone calls, beyond the plan limit, can be obtained for a $75 flat rate each.)
Contracts and other business legal documents can be complicated and may include language that is not in your best interest. A provider lawyer can review business legal documents. Every month, you can submit up to 4 documents of up to 25 pages in length pertaining to in-state business legal matters.
(If you need more than four documents per month, a flat rate of $75 for each additional review applies.)
*Doesn’t include documents that are related to administrative proceedings and lawsuits.
Late-paying clients are an unavoidable part of business. A provider law firm can help collect money that’s owed by writing collection letters, up to 4 per month for in-state matters. (For additional letters, a flat rate of $75 each applies.)
With a Home Business Add-On, you receive IRS Audit Legal Services for help with items included on Schedules C and E of your personal federal income tax return. Business entity tax returns are not included.
For additional legal services not outlined in the member contract, you may receive a discount from your provider law firm’s standard hourly rate, based on your Personal Legal Plan. Your provider lawyer will review these fees prior to engagement.
Do you lease residential properties? LegalShield’s Home Business Add-On helps alleviate guess work and headaches that stem from landlord-tenant issues. (Does not cover commercial property leases such as high-rise, offices, retail/restaurant, multifamily complexes, etc.)
