What we’ve seen:

“One of our clients, a small business owner in LA, signed a major supply contract with what looked like a reliable partner. Months later, the supplier stopped delivering but still demanded payment. The business was on the brink of shutting down. That’s when they called us. Our contract lawyers reviewed the agreement, found critical breaches, and filed a claim. Instead of dragging through a year-long court battle, we negotiated a settlement that covered losses and let the company keep its doors open. Today, that client still calls us before signing anything—because once was enough to learn how costly a “simple contract” mistake can be.”

4 Indispensable Business Tasks You Need to Tackle Right Now

Launching your own business is an exciting event, but your enthusiasm can quickly get dampened as you consider all the not-so-fun tasks you’re gonna have to accomplish in order to run a legitimate company. Choosing a business structure, registering your company, getting an accounting system going, and making sure you stay compliant with the rules and regulations in your state take a lot of time and effort. But it’s all worth it! So read on and tackle these four tasks to get you started:

Forming an LLC

When you start a business, think about protecting your personal assets by forming a limited liability company. In the event of a legal dispute, your business will be its own legal entity, so you’ll only be risking the money you invested in it while keeping your personal bank account, home, vehicles, etc., protected. So make sure you keep your business and personal expenses separate. Don’t commingle funds, and keep careful accounting so as not to pierce the corporate veil and put your personal assets and properties at risk.

Getting an EIN

An Employer ID Number, or EIN, is required of businesses by the Internal Revenue Service in order to file their taxes. You also need this EIN to open a business account at a bank or financial institution. And if you’re planning on hiring employees, it will be required as well so that the IRS can track your payroll tax remittances. You can use an online formation service to easily obtain your EIN by providing the information you used to set up your LLC. And there’s another advantage of getting that unique 9-digit number for your business: since you won’t be using your personal social security number to interact with lenders and vendors, you’ll be less likely to become a victim of identity theft.

Setting Up Your Accounting

As we’ve noted earlier, keeping careful accounting of your business expenses and revenue will help you stay in compliance with the IRS when it comes to small business payroll taxes. But if crunching numbers isn’t in your wheelhouse, consider hiring a freelance CPA or accountant to set you up with proper accounting practices right from the start. And take advantage of the latest digital technologies by using small business accounting software, which is designed to automate bookkeeping tasks and make data entry less of a chore – and less prone to human error. You’ll also be able to track your income and expenses in real-time, which will help you make sound financial decisions for your business.

Protecting Your Intellectual Property

Some businesses are born out of the creativity and ingenuity of their owners. Maybe you’ve invented a nifty new gadget, or you’re a creator, and you started selling your artwork to customers. Whatever the case is, if your company holds patents, trademarks, copyrights, or licensing rights, look for a business attorney to help you navigate all those legal issues. An experienced lawyer will assist you in protecting your trade secrets and be on your side if you’re ever faced with an infringement lawsuit.

Business owners don’t have time for legal jargon—they need clear answers that protect their bottom line. My job is to cut through the noise and give them strategies that actually work.

Atty. Elizabeth Yang Esq.President, Yang Law Offices

What makes us different.

We think like business owners, not just lawyers. That means every recommendation we make balances legal protection with cost, strategy, and growth opportunities. We know that legal decisions aren’t made in a vacuum—they affect your team, your finances, and your future. Because of this, we take the time to explain options clearly in both English and 中文, so nothing gets lost in translation. Our goal is simple: to be the legal partner who helps you minimize risk, resolve conflicts, and keep your business moving forward with confidence.

FAQ

What’s the difference between an LLC and an S-Corp?

Both LLCs and S-Corps protect your personal assets from business liabilities, but they differ in taxation and ownership rules. An LLC offers flexibility for small business owners, while an S-Corp may provide tax advantages if you meet certain IRS requirements. A business attorney can help you decide which structure works best for your goals.

Do I really need a lawyer to review my contracts?

Yes. Even a “simple” contract can contain hidden risks that cost thousands later. A contract lawyer reviews the fine print, negotiates terms, and ensures your rights are protected before you sign. This is especially important for small business owners in California, where laws are strict and mistakes are costly.

What if my business partner breaches our agreement?

If a partner fails to uphold their side of the deal, you may have a breach of contract claim. Depending on the situation, our business dispute attorneys can pursue mediation, arbitration, or litigation to enforce your rights and recover damages.

Can I avoid going to court?

Often, yes. Many business disputes can be resolved through mediation or arbitration, saving time and money. Our attorneys work to settle conflicts quickly, so you can get back to running your business.

How much does a business lawyer cost in California?

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your issue. Some matters, like contract reviews, may be billed at a flat rate, while litigation is usually billed hourly. At Yang Law Offices, we’re transparent about fees from the start and tailor our services to fit your business needs and budget.

    I met Elizabeth at the business association events and had attended a few of the zoom seminar that she hosted on business law. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great presenter, she made those business matters easier to understand. I had also reached out to her after the free seminars for questions, she replied even I was not yet a paid client. Their office staff are multi-lingual, Yang Law Office will be our first choice if we ever decided to proceed with the next BIG IDEA!

  • “

    I was selling my business and used Elizabeth as my attorney to complete the transaction. Elizabeth was 100% professional and even answered texts on the weekend. I am not the easiest guy to do business with, as I expect people to go above and beyond like I feel I do myself. This attitude that I have is not always appreciated? Elizabeth not only put up with my attitude, she was extremely pleasant to work with.

    I am very pleased with Elizabeth Yang… I needed help in regards to my business. I didn’t have a clue of what to do or where to start. Elizabeth explained to me very clearly and she has great customer service skills. She resolved all of the issues I had to start up my own business…

Still not convinced?

You’re not alone. Most business owners don’t think about contracts or compliance until a dispute forces them to. But here’s the truth: the best time to set clear expectations is before problems arise—not when emotions and costs are running high. Having a business lawyer doesn’t mean you expect conflict—it means you’re planning wisely for whatever comes next. And that kind of clarity? It protects both your company and your future growth.
