It's not a stupid question. The simplest is to look for a "business lawyer" and then ask them about their experiences with businesses like yours

But also, don't overestimate what a lawyer is going to do. They're not going to make your docs legitimate, but they will spend as much time as you want to pay for working on them and telling you the risks.

They _will_ frequently be able to get you started with docs like that, though. If they've done the work before they'll have a ready to go draft for you.

Thank you, thank you! I found some more results now with that term.

Appreciate the insight as well.

I know this sounds snarky but it is true -- when i've spoken to three separate small business lawyers on what is required i received three different answers, with about 70% overlap across the three. I actually wonder if there is any right answer for a small business on a budget.

Some law is 100% cut and dry and lawyers agree. A lot of law is interpreted, and as you see below some lawyers will have different opinions based on their experiences.

As an "outsider to law" I... didn't expect that. I thought it would feel "firmer". Just a head's up as you might find yourself getting different advice that you'll have to parse.

Hey, FWIW I'm a former lawyer and I'm building a product that's meant for this exact use case.

I won't post a link here (to avoid self promotion), but if you're still looking for help I'm happy to give you a hand.

Bar associations will give lawyer recommendations
