Choose the Right Service for Your Business

StartSmart Counsel delivers a suite of fractional / outsourced compliance and legal services tailored for any business. Tap into our Fractional Chief Compliance Officer (FxCCO) and Fractional General Counsel (FxGC) services for high-level compliance oversight and legal strategy without the overhead of full-time executives. Benefit from our ongoing support in compliance, risk management, and legal areas to stay ahead of the curve in regulatory changes and risk mitigation.

At StartSmart Counsel, we know every business grows differently and so do its legal needs. That’s why we offer two flexible service options designed to meet you where you are:

Pay-As-You-Go General Counsel / Compliance Officer (Early Stage Startups & Founders)
Perfect for early-stage startups and small businesses taking their first steps. You’ll get access to experienced legal counsel when you need it — without the ongoing commitment or high cost of a full-time attorney. Ideal for contract reviews, LLC formation, compliance checks, and other foundational legal tasks.

Fractional General Counsel / CCO (Revenue Generating)
Tailored for established, revenue-generating companies ready to scale. As your Fractional GC, we act as an extension of your leadership team — managing ongoing legal strategy, compliance, HR matters, governance, and risk management. You get consistent legal support, predictable pricing, and peace of mind knowing your business is protected at every stage of growth.

Whether you’re just starting or scaling fast, StartSmart Counsel helps you build a strong legal foundation and stay ahead of risk — on your terms.

Who We Help

• Revenue-generating businesses preparing to scale with stronger governance and risk management
