Legal Question in Business Law in California
I would like to protect my ideas when presenting them to business partners and potential investors. Is there anything I can have them sign prior to our discussion? Think the Facebook case....

That's what non-disclosure confidentiality agreements are for. Hire an attorney do create one tailored to your needs. Contact me if serious about doing so.
I have an agreement for protecting ideas, non-disclosure of ideas, and for the sale of ideas that is designed to be pretty solid. The contract would have to be customized slightly depending on your needs. If they are willing to sign one, send me an email.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorneys. You need a good, customized nondisclosure agreement that is signed before you say anything. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.

Just as the other attorneys suggested, you will need to properly draft and execute a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. Attorney fees are usually very reasonable in drafting such agreements, and will properly protect your interests.
