The checklist has been published as two documents:
The Washington Small Business Legal Checklist is intended to help small businesses in Washington state avoid common legal risks and achieve better legal health.
The Explanation of the Washington Small Business Checklist contains extra information, links, and best practices to help your business understand and resolve the topics listed in the checklist. This document is intended to be used as a reference source.
Both documents are printer-friendly to accommodate entrepreneurs who prefer to work through them on paper rather than on a computer screen. Please read the instructions and disclosures on the first page of the checklist for more guidance on how to use these two documents.
