When you are raising there are only a few legal documents that you need.

You really want to make sure that you don't change too many things from what is standard. It complicates things and slows your round down. Startups everywhere use the same templates and then tweak them.

And you almost definitely want to work with standard documents so that all your interactions are easier. If your documents are bespoke you will have way more time and cost with your investors, lawyers, accountants, and employees.

We do recommend working with lawyers but only using startup lawyers, and we think that our partners are the best coz they do things simple, fast, and use Cake so that saves your time a $$! You can however use templates without legal support, just see what is right for you. The Cake team are more than happy to help with this. **Book Here.**
