Why I created this checklist

Hi, I’m John Gerber, founder of Unlawyer. In my many years as a corporate lawyer, I’ve watched too many new business owners struggle to launch their businesses because the legal side was too expensive, confusing, or intimidating. That’s why I branched out from the traditional legal world to create something better – simple, straightforward legal help that actually makes sense for real people starting real businesses.
This checklist includes the steps I give my small business clients. Without legal jargon. Just the protection strategies you need to build your dream with confidence.
