The Nissenbaum Law Group represents a significant number of small businesses. Some of them come to the firm after having been up and running for years, and others are true start-ups.

The Firm Charges a Flat Fee to Form a Business

          In order to run a small business, it must first be launched. However, at that initial stage, it can sometimes be severely undercapitalized. Therefore, the Nissenbaum Law Group offers the following services on a flat fee basis that takes into account the financial challenges that new businesses face:

• Form and register with the respective state a single-owner corporation or limited liability company in New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania;
• Obtain the tax identification number for the entity;
• Draft corporate bylaws or operating agreement for the new entity;
• Draft one set of organizational resolutions for the initial action of the company’s members or Board of Directors and Shareholders;
• Issue stock and/or membership certificates;
• Complete the stock and/or membership ledger for the Company; and
• At the client’s request, provide a new business checklist, outlining a non-exclusive list of issues that most new businesses need to address.

          The firm solely asks that the client advance costs, such as postage, overnight mail, filing and corporate kit fees; however, these are generally not expensive charges.

          The reason we are offering this flat fee program is because of the current state of our economy; the squeeze that it is placing on small business owners; and the number of newly unemployed individuals who are starting their own businesses. It is our commitment to do our share to help the business community make it through these difficult times.

Our Firm Also Offers A Wide Range of Other Legal Services for Small Businesses
         

           We do charge hourly billable legal fees for most of the other services we provide. However, small business clients may not have the same legal budget as their larger counterparts. Hence, the firm strives to provide sophisticated, first-class service in an efficient manner within the client's financial limitations, which can sometimes involve a tailor-made flat fee structure to fulfill that client's needs.

          Some of the other legal services the firm offers in the area of advising business entrepreneurs includes such items as:

• Filing copyrights and trademarks to protect the business's intellectual property
• Preparing customer agreements, distributor agreements, website terms and conditions and privacy policies
• Preparing employment agreements, manuals and surrounding documentation
• Assisting with collection of accounts receivable
• Reviewing financing documentation for commercial loans
• Providing general commercial law advice and guidance
