Business Planning and Risk Management— A sensible business plan defines a business, identifies goals, and serves as a basic recipe for success. The threshold requirements for enterprising individuals include developing sound business, financial, and marketing plans, as well as gaining an understanding of pertinent Washington laws and licensing requirements. With very few exceptions, every business in Washington or elsewhere for that matter begins as a small business. Some stay small; others experience positive and sustained growth. Good business planning is focused on a vision of the future while recognizing available resources and financial realities. At Carlson, Boyd & Bailey, we help businesses get off to a good start. We advise our clients about the legal and practical issues associated with Washington business law, and help them answer questions relating to:

• Acquisition
