The Business Baseline™

The Essential Legal Health Check for Small Businesses.

Many small business owners are flying blind when it comes to legal protection. You’ve filed your LLC and you’re off to the races—but is your foundation actually secure?

The Business Baseline™ is a fixed-fee, 360-degree diagnostic designed to find the "hidden fuses" in your business before they get lit. We review the three pillars of your business legal health in one streamlined process.

  • We ensure your "Personal Asset Shield" is actually working. If you were sued tomorrow, could a creditor "pierce the veil" and go after your home or savings?

    • Audit of Entity Standing: Ensuring you are "Active" and compliant with the Utah Division of Corporations.

    • The Operating Agreement Review: Verifying you have a signed, Utah-specific agreement (not just a generic template).

    • Formalities Test: A quick check of your "business-vs-personal" habits to ensure your liability protection is airtight.

  • Other lawyers and online resources do not know your neighborhood. We do.

    • Municipal Licensing: Verification that your local business licenses are current and categorized correctly.

    • Zoning & Home-Office Compliance: Ensuring your "kitchen table" startup isn't violating city-specific home-occupation ordinances or that your new location is properly zoned for your business.

    • Alignment with New Legislation: Checking that your basic operations and workplace policies meet the most recent Utah requirements.

  • We take your #1 revenue-generating document (your client agreement or estimate form) and put it under the microscope.

    • The "Leak" Detection: Identifying missing late-fee clauses, weak "Limitation of Liability" terms, or outdated refund policies.

    • IP Ownership: Confirming that you—not your freelancers—actually own your logo, website, and content.

What You Get:

  • The Baseline Report Card: A clear, color-coded "Traffic Light" PDF showing what’s Safe (Green), what’s Outdated (Yellow), and what’s Urgent (Red).

  • The Strategy Session: A 20-minute in-person or online meeting to walk through the findings and prioritize your next steps.

  • Fixed-Fee Pricing: No "billable hour" surprises. Just one transparent price for the entire diagnostic. And, if you want, itemized pricing for any Red or Yellow items.

Why the Baseline?

Because you didn’t start a business to spend your time reading the Utah Code. You started it to build something. We provide the Baseline so you can focus on the Growth. Check your foundation today.
