It doesn't have to be painful...We're talking taxes, legal issues and all of things that we need to know to avoid headaches and keep what we earn in our businesses! Many of us avoid the conversations about lawyers and CPAs. John Dedon is not only an expert and seasoned estate planning attorney, but he's a businessman and understands how to distill weighty (and frankly, scary) topics like tax and entity formation into bite-sized bits of information for your benefit. On this episode John shares at least $500 of FREE legal information for you to plan and protect your business.
In layperson's terms John helps us understand:
- THE biggest mistake business owners make regarding legal and financial planning
- The barebones documents that everyone should have in place, not just business owners
- When to consider bringing on lawyers and accounting professionals
- How to protect your asset aka your business when working with business partners
- Cost-saving tips to protect your asset
- Your business is an asset and how to preserve its value
- Flat fee, equity and hourly fee arrangements
- The difference between using online forms and in-person legal services tailored to your issues
- And so much more!
