Are you jonesing to strike it big with a dorm room startup that blossoms into a booming business?
College entrepreneurs who want to turn a dorm room startup into a sustainable business will need a considerable amount of seed money and mentoring – along with a boatload of legal guidance – before they become the next Mark Zuckerberg.
Here are a few legal tips for aspiring entrepreneurs:
As many dorm room startup disputes center on oral and written agreements, it may also be wise to consult an experienced contracts lawyer to make sure you’re legally covered. Another option is to sign up for a personal legal plan like those offered by LegalStreet; LegalStreet plans include attorney contract reviews (up to 10 pages) and on-call access to local lawyers who can answer a wide range of legal questions.
