Don't Avoid these Legal Tasks in Your Business

Alright, time for some tough love. I'm going to ask a hard question. 

What legal tasks are you avoiding in your business right now?

I know, I know...

It's so easy to put it on the back burner, but when an issue arises, it's the worst.

💲 When a client disputes a payment...

😮 When a contractor you hired doesn't fulfill their end of the bargain...

🤬When a business frenemy steals your content...

None of this is pleasant but it happens time and time again. It's just how you prepare for these pitfalls that matter.

So Why Bother with Legal Protection?

Preventative Medicine

Think of legal tasks as your business's immune system. They can ward off potential issues before they escalate into major headaches.

Solid Foundation: 

They say a house built on a solid foundation stands tall. The same goes for your business. Legal protection provides the foundation for sustainable growth.

Avoiding Disaster: 

Lawsuits, contract disputes, and compliance failures can be costly. Proactive legal work acts as a safety net, saving you from preventable disaster.

Common Legal Tasks We Tend to Avoid:

1. Updating Contracts: When was the last time you dusted off your contracts? Outdated terms can leave you vulnerable. It's like using an old map – you might get lost.

2. Ignoring Deadlines: From annual state LLC reports to licenses, compliance is non-negotiable. Ignoring deadlines can lead to fines and, in some cases, business closures.

3. Intellectual Property Neglect: Your brand is your baby. Neglecting trademarks and copyrights can open the door to brand theft and legal battles.

4. No Operating Agreement: Even for solo entrepreneurs, having an operating agreement for your LLC is essential. It sets the rules of the game and protects your interests.

And don't stop there. I have a longer list of to-do items on my 2024 Legal To Do List.

Time to Shift Your Mindset​

It's time to shift your mindset from seeing legal tasks as a chore to viewing them as strategic moves for business longevity. 

Embrace legal protection not as a burden, but as an investment in your business's future.

Take a moment to identify one legal task you've been putting off. 

Whether it's updating a contract, reviewing your IP or checking registrations and licenses, get started. 

Legal protection isn't about being paranoid; it's about being prepared.
