 Legal contracts may seem like a huge burden for any small business owner, but they're essential to building your foundation and protecting yourself legally. Your legal requirements may vary depending on where you live, so it's important to research what those obligations will be before getting started with hiring lawyers. 

When you're first starting out, the last thing on your mind is how important it is to have legal contracts for a beauty business. You may think that hiring an expensive lawyer will cost more than just doing everything yourself or skip this step altogether because of its heavy burden. However, many small-business owners avoid drawing up signed documents which can lead to problems in later years across a range of areas with both clients and staff.
