In Legal Terms: Starting a Business

In Legal Terms

To say you are “in Business” might be an intimidating thought. What if we replaced it with “crafter”? Or “musician”? Or “reseller”? What laws do you need to know when starting a small business? When does a hobby become a business? Our guests Professor Martin Edwards from Ole Miss and William Bettis from the firm of Butler Snow will give us some ideas.

If you’re enjoying this discussion of starting a business, Mr. Bettis was our guest on June 28th 2022.

And Professor Edwards was our guest to discuss Contracts on September 5th of 2023. I’ll have the links to those podcasts on this show’s information.

The Mississippi Secretary of State’s office has a webpage: Y’all Business – Mississippi Business Information Center. If you go to their main website: https://sos.ms.gov/ it’s an easy click to their resource center on how to start a small business. I’ll have that link on this show’s information page.
