Avoiding Legal Hazards When Starting a Small Business

Entrepreneurs are risk-takers, dreamers, and optimists. No mountain is too high or idea too wild for those with a can-do attitude and a sense of adventure. But, statistics show that 50% of new small businesses no longer exist after five years. Entrepreneurs face many legal challenges that make it hard to keep the doors open. Things like tax problems or badly-written contracts can distract business owners from focusing on clients and sales. Join us for a discussion of the most common legal issues that entrepreneurs face along with some practical tips for how to avoid them so you can focus on doing what you do best – growing your business. A free brunch will be served. This program is part of the Main Street 101: DMPL Small Business Workshops series sponsored by American Enterprise.
