What’s Included

Core Compliance + Corporate Maintenance

Our Business Basics™ subscription covers the legal requirements most businesses need to maintain good standing.  These include:

• Registered Agent service
  
• Annual report filing
  
• Annual LLC Operating Agreement or bylaws update
  
• Annual meeting minutes/resolutions

What this means for you:  You don’t have to track deadlines, filings, or annual updates. Your legal foundation stays current and properly documented.

Ongoing Legal Check-Ins + Strategy

Even at the foundational level, you’re not navigating legal issues alone.  Our Business Basics™ subscription includes:

• Four virtual Legal Strategy Sessions per year (30 minutes each)

These sessions are ideal for:

• Periodic legal check-ins
  
• Reviewing changes in your business
  
• Understanding legal risk before taking action
  

Limited Document Review + Legal Support

Our Business Basics™ subscription includes targeted attorney support for occasional legal questions.  What's included:

• One attorney document review per year
  
• One as-needed phone call per year with your legal team (prescheduled using your client-only priority link, where we'll always get you in as quickly as we can)

This allows you to:

• Get attorney insight before signing an important document
• Ask focused legal questions without worrying about hourly billing
• Address issues early before they become more expensive problems

Tools + Resources Included

Your Business Basics™ subscription includes access to:

• Skepsis Legal's exclusive Client Resources Library, which includes business legal educational materials and guidance
  
• Skepsis Legal's virtual lending library (hosted on Libby) featuring a curated selection of ebooks and audiobooks from best-selling business and management authors—available to you at no additional cost. New titles are added regularly.
  
• Preemptis™, Skepsis Legal’s early lawsuit notification system, gives you an early heads-up when a lawsuit is filed against your business, before you’re caught off guard. (Not available in all courts and not guaranteed to catch every filing.)

What’s Not Included

Our Business Basics™ subscription focuses on prevention and guidance—not custom drafting or legal representation.  So, to make sure you choose the right plan for your company, it's important to understand what's not included here, and also to know that any of these items can be added to your plan on an as-needed basis.  They are:

• Custom document drafting
  
• Contractor or UCC lien filings
  
• Pre-litigation representation
  
• Litigation, arbitration, or mediation services
  
• Court appearances or negotiations with opposing counsel
  
• Ongoing contract redlining or negotiation

If your business requires additional support, you can upgrade at any time or request add-on services instantly through your portal with clear, transparent pricing.

Optional Add-On: Multi-Entity Coverage

If you have multiple related entities, you can bundle additional entities into your subscription for only $150 per month, delivering exceptional value and saving you thousands of dollars per company you own.

• Requires 51% or more common ownership
• Services are bundled, meaning shared, across entities (not multiplied)
