Hi Mitch Many thanks for the response. I have filed and been registered as an LLC, and have indeed several boilerplate agreements I have found on the internet and customized for my needs. I wanted to see if working Joomla entrepeneurs thought that was enough, or review by a lawyer was a worthwhile investment before actual usage. I'm happy with it, which is the minimum criteria I suppose.
