Scale Smarter with Fractional

Legal & Ops Expertise

We team up with startups to simplify legal ops, build systems that grow with you, and cut through the noise—so you can scale without the stress.

As a founder…

You’re meant to be leading the business — not be a full-time operator. So why does it feel like you’re drowning in the back office?

You launched your startup to solve a real problem, build something meaningful, and scale a product people love. But somewhere along the way, your role got hijacked by operations, compliance, and legal headaches.

You wear all the hats, but operations and legal aren’t optional. They’re the engine behind growth. Without them, you’re not just wasting time — you’re inviting risk.

The solution? You need a system that organizes your backend, and reduces risk without the cost and complexity of building a full in-house legal or operations team.

We focus on your operations so you can focus on opportunities.

BVJ Consulting helps startups build lean, effective legal and operational systems. From compliance checkups to SOPs and playbooks, we lay the foundations that make scaling possible—without the overhead.

What we do

  • We harness best-in-class legal operations overlays—designed for startups. These include processes for contract management, compliance tracking, and document workflows, all optimized for efficiency

  • We help build and organize all essential documents for any early-stage startup. From incorporation paperwork to cap tables, NDAs, offer letters, and more.

  • We map out your specific regulatory obligations (e.g. IP, data/privacy, employment laws) and create step-by-step plans to ensure you're always audit-ready and defensively structured.

  • Beyond documents, we build Standard Operating Procedures, automate workflows (e.g. contracts, HR/payroll, expense management), and ensure all processes are repeatable and scalable.

  • With experience advising startups from angel to Series A, and liaising effectively with legal frameworks, BVJ provides high-level guidance on structuring ventures, fundraising readiness, and operations audits.

 FAQs

  • BVJ Consulting specializes in simplifying legal and business operations for startups. We offer tailored operational support—such as company structuring, contract frameworks, compliance guidance, and operational playbooks—designed for founders who want to focus on growth without drowning in admin.

  • We’re a business consulting firm, not a law practice. While we guide clients on operations and compliance, we don’t offer legal advice or form attorney‑client relationships. Our role is to help you systematize and streamline—not replace an attorney.

  • We assist companies at any stage, from pre‑launch to scaling. Whether you're drafting foundational documents or optimizing existing processes, our goal is to give you strong operational footing.

  • Costs vary depending on your current setup and your operational needs. We offer a free initial consultation to assess your situation and propose a customized service plan that aligns with your stage and budget.

  • Timelines depend on your needs. Basic projects (like establishing a governance template or compliance checklist) might take just a few weeks. More complex initiatives (like operational revamps) could span several months. We'll provide an estimated timeline during your free consultation.

  • Smooth operations reduce risk and free up your focus to drive growth. Missteps in contracts, compliance, or processes can lead to costly setbacks. We build the frameworks so you can scale confidently.

  • Nope! We cover a broader suite of operational needs, including:

    • Process design

    • Playbooks and standard operating procedures (SOPs)

    • Organizational planning

    • Strategic Startup Advisory

      While we simplify legal elements, our focus is on creating strong business operations too.

  • No. While based in San Fransisco, CA, we support founders worldwide, especially early-stage startups looking to build strong operational foundations early on.
