We Help Businesses Secure Growth Capital
We know from experience that the single biggest challenge for start up and early stage businesses is finding the capital required to establish and build the business. This is particularly true in northeast Ohio, with the presence of many technology and medical startups.
We provide comprehensive advice and counsel, helping you to understand and address all legal and business issues. Comprehensive service means that locating and securing growth capital is just one important step. Because no amount of growth capital can guarantee success, we also help to protect intellectual property, draft and obtain non-competition agreements, and appropriately structure agreements between founding partners or members.
Attorney Ben Calkins is immediate past president of the Ohio Venture Association, a group of venture capitalists who participate in early stage investing for start up and growth companies. We know the sources of venture and early stage growth capital in northeast Ohio and beyond. Through an extensive network of industry professionals, we can connect the right entrepreneur with the right investor.
In addition, because our objective as legal advisors is to help — rather than hinder — your bottom line, we can structure alternative payment arrangements depending on the circumstances. Our objective is always to leave you in a better position than the position you were in before you hired us.
