The only 'legal' cost associated with starting my self funded search was the LLC formation. And I just used Zen Business to set it up. Not sure what other legal items would be necessary for starting a self funded search. I have had talks with potential investors, but no contractually committed investors. Anything can happen between now and when I find a company so there was no need to get legal documentation for that. Hope that helps.
