How a Food & Beverage Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a SAFE Note in Florida (June 2025)

In 2025, a well-established, single-shareholder LLC in Florida sought professional assistance to review a SAFE note and warrants as part of their first capital raise. The company, which has grown significantly over the past five years, aimed to raise $2.5 million at a $40 million valuation. Their main concerns included ensuring compliance with securities laws during their outreach to accredited investors and validating the appropriateness of the investor rights included in the SAFE. As a result, the client received eight proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $400 to $2,500, all submitted to meet their requested deadline of less than one week.
