If you have a small business, if you are a freelancer or solopreneur, that is fantastic!
Being your own boss is the best. It’s the dream, right?
But the thought of setting it up legally is usually not at the top of the priority list, especially in the beginning.
If you have little or no capital, spending money on a lawyer when not much is coming in is easy to put off and worry about it later. It is also often scary and confusing.
But what if I told you, there is a way to put a legal structure in place for your business from the beginning that is easy and inexpensive?
Wesley Henderson is my guest today and he is a business lawyer who has created Drafted Legal which caters to small business start-ups. Everything is drafted for you so you can be sure your business is legal from day one.
They provide customizable legal templates drafted by a licensed attorney, at prices that fit your startup budget. They have bundles for niche industries and are legal in all 50 states.
If you are nervous about the whole legal thing, you are really going to be put at ease after listening to Wesley.
Here is one more resource for you that truly takes the fear out of adulting.

ABOUT WESLEY HENDERSON
Driven by his passion for and experience in running a small business, Wesley understands what it takes to start and run a lean business, and is passionate about helping other businesses do the same. He is also a practicing attorney, and is trusted by everyone from mom and pops to multi-million dollar companies to draft legal documents to ensure their businesses are covered.
Wesley spent the beginning of his career working for a big law firm but ultimately felt unfulfilled. It was then that he realized his passion was to use his big law firm experience to help small business owners live out their own dreams. That passion fueled him to start his own practice with his brother, Henderson and Henderson.
And that’s what makes Drafted Legal unique: You get access to legal templates on a startup budget, but if you’re ever in over your head, you can get help from a real-life attorney, too.
Wesley graduated magna cum laude from Wofford College before receiving his law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law where he was awarded the Justice J.B. Ness Scholarship. Wesley is a South Carolina Bar Certified Mediator. He and his wife live in Charleston, South Carolina with their three sons and a chocolate lab.
