Affordable Legal Consultation Tailored to Your Home Business
Hiring a law firm for your home-based business can be expensive. And with DIY legal websites, you may not know the best actions to take or have access to consultation with a lawyer when you need it. LegalShield’s Home Business Supplement provides access to a provider law firm for a wide variety of business legal matters. You’ll receive a year’s worth of unlimited consultation and a multitude of actual services for around the cost of a single contract review elsewhere.
You might be self-employed, but you’re not on your own. Get legal assistance that’s tailored to your unique needs, enabling you to focus on what you do best – running your home business.
Advice, Consultation and Research
Contracts and other business legal documents can be complicated and may include language that is not in your best interest. A provider lawyer can review business legal documents.

(If you need more than four documents per month, a flat fee of $75 for each additional review applies.)
