Horzepa Spiegel & Associates PC

Entrepreneurs, Start-ups, & Emerging Companies

Horzepa Spiegel & Associates advises entrepreneurs from the inception of their businesses ideas to stages when business growth is well underway. We are familiar with the unique issues faced by startup and emerging companies, such as raising capital, drafting service and product agreements to match a startup's business model, and negotiating agreements with vendors and strategic partners. While entrepreneurs benefit from our experience with larger businesses, we understand the tradeoffs they must constantly make. We help entrepreneurs choose the right tradeoffs to achieve their business goals.

Setting up and moving forward. We advise entrepreneurs on business entity choice and formation, and business owner agreements, including operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and buy/sell agreements. As they build relationships with independent contractors, employees, strategic partners, vendors and suppliers, we structure business terms and create agreements that protect the intellectual property and other assets of the business while allowing these relationships to drive growth.

Financing, transactions, and exit strategies. We advise entrepreneurs on securing financing from angel investors, institutional investors or other sources while maintaining maximum control of the business. We also assist with identifying the exit strategy best suited for both the founders and the business, structuring transactions to maximize value while minimizing business disruptions and lingering liabilities.
