DESCRIPTION:LEGAL ISSUES FOR\n\n	SMALL BUSINESSES\n                There are a variety of important legal issues that small business owners must be aware of.  Starting with the formation of the business and determining what type of legal entity is the best one i.e. sole proprietor\, sub S or C corporation\, or an LLC.  The business owner then has to consider signing leases\, hiring employees\, signing contracts\, to trademarks and protecting personal assets.
