Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to legally protect your business assets at a price that doesn’t require you to sell a kidney? Well, it is. I’m Jaleela Amatullah, a Safe Business Advocate and I work with business owners in helping them receive unlimited legal advice + other amazing legal benefits to help them protect their business so they can have peace of mind and continue their hustle. What are the necessary legal steps to take when starting and running a business? Should I set up my business as an LLC or DBA? Do I need a privacy policy for my website (Yes)? Can I just borrow a privacy policy from another website to use as my own (No)? How do I know if the contract I’m using is legally binding and strong enough to protect my business? (You are using contracts, right?). Have you asked yourself those questions plus hundreds more? Every business owner needs to formally set up a business entity for their business. They should speak to a lawyer and an accountant when making this important decision; yet so few to do. Selecting the wrong business structure can be costly. Did you know that if you operate as a sole proprietorship and your business is sued and the client wins you can lose your personal assets (house, car, investments, savings, future wages, etc.) – Yikes!!! Still, over 70% of small businesses are operated under that entity. And if you neglect to formally select one then your business is a sole proprietorship by default. The risk of meeting a stranger (your client) online and having unprotected business with them just isn’t worth taking. It could cost you your business, your personal means, your peace of mind. I want to let you know about a legal service that can help you with your legal business needs. Here are some of the benefits included: Unlimited (yes, you read that correctly, unlimited as in you can call as many times as you need for legal advice) – This one benefit more than compensates for the price of the membership for me. I am not a lawyer, but I talk to my lawyer a lot. Imagine being able to pick up the phone to ask a lawyer as many questions as you have regarding your business that cost less than your coffee habit. Legal document and contract review – You are working with contracts, right? You need to have a contract with Every. Single. Person. You do business with even if the client is your friend, cousin or significant other. If you created your contract yourself, it needs to be reviewed to ensure all of the appropriate components are there to fully protect your business Legal Correspondence – Because a cease and desist letter isn’t effective when you write it. While imitation may be considered the greatest form of flattery to some, when someone actually steals your work, flattered isn’t usually the initial feeling. In many cases an effective cease and desist letter is enough to have your violator stop the offense. Debt Assistance Collection – Need help collecting payment from clients? Hopefully you don’t, but if you do you’ll have help. Defense Trial Services – Hopefully, this is a service you won’t need; unfortunately some business legal matters end up in the courtroom. Not using contracts, not having an operating agreement if you’re business is a partnership are some of the ways things that can be done. (This option is not included in all plans) Business Protection = less headaches, more money and more time to focus on doing what you love in your business and less worrying. For a monthly fee starting $30 per month (prices can vary depending on the plan selected, availability, and number of employees.)
