Launching a startup means making a lot of decisions. How will you fund it? What’s your go-to-market strategy? How do you hire the right people? It can feel overwhelming, especially when the decisions don’t fall within your area of expertise. Don’t panic, though. No one is an expert on all aspects of running a business. Anyone who tells you they are may be having you on 😉.

Whilst it’s always worth seeking expert advice, often just knowing the right questions to ask can help you make the right decisions. In this guide, we’ll break down five important questions to help with the legal aspects of successfully launching a startup.
