Law @ Work

As a business owner, have you ever avoided getting advice because it was too expensive, then had to fix up a legal problem which cost even more money? Have you turned down opportunities because getting advice was too hard and too expensive? Do you worry about being appropriately covered for risk but not sure who to turn to?
Running a successful business means staying up-to-date with your responsibilities and setting things up correctly to minimise risk. And many of these important details and tasks are legal requirements of your business.

James Frank from Frank Law shares information on their legal advice subscription service, Law @ Work, and how this type of service can simplify your legal obligations, help you minimise risk, and keep your business on track.

Before You Start Your Business

Is being passionate about your product or service enough to warrant starting a business? What about skill or quality - if your product or service is 'the best', does that mean you should start a business selling it?
A successful business requires more than just passion, skill and an amazing product or service.
Paul Sweeney (Pretium Solutions) looks at what you need to do before you start a business. How can you make sure you will have customers who will buy your product or service? Who will your customers be? How will you reach them?
The key here is to make sure you do your research, first.
