Top 3 Small Business Legal Issues

AndreaSagerpsodcast - The Legalpreneur

In this first episode of The Legalpreneur Podcast, we’re tackling three very important legal issues that you, a small business owner, don’t want to overlook! It’s incredibly important to be proactive on these topics so that you don’t have to become reactive when these legal issues arise.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • Contracts: Why you need them. How contracts should grow with your business. Service contracts vs. Product based contracts.

  • Trademarks: Why they should be seen as building blocks, not as an endgame.

  • Copyrights: What exactly is it
