Quick Guide Legal Best Practices for Founders
Inhalt
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the questions that founders of startups regularly encounter. The business models of startups often exhibit significant growth and scaling potential and frequently target digital markets. The trade-off between low initial capital and early expansion of business activities requires venture capital or other sources of funding.
In addition to presenting the various legal questions that arise—from choosing an appropriate legal structure at the outset of a startup to issues affecting a wide range of business operations—the book also contains extensive information on financing options for startups. It includes concrete suggestions for business regulations and other important documents. As a comprehensive guide, the book offers valuable insights into legal matters that (not only) founders of startups should consider.
