What do growing vegetables have in common with legally protecting your business? Well you’ll have to listen to the end of the episode to find out.
Today we’re going to be talking about something that gives most business owners the heebiejeebies. Small print, big impact: this is how to use the legal stuff as a foundation. This is not an afterthought, although this area of business is often treated that way. In this episode, we’re joined by UK based solicitor Lucy Wheeler and founder of the Lucy Legal template shop, empowering small businesses to build a business (and life) on their own terms through making the ‘legal stuff’ less daunting and, dare we say it, even a little bit fun.
Here’s a lowdown of the key discussion points:
We dive straight in with unearthing some legal horror stories, and why legal foundations aren’t just for ‘big’ businesses
We cover what legal foundations you actually need as a small business owner, and how having clear legal boundaries in your business actually builds trust with your clients
How Lucy turned her ultimate dream into reality - and why she’s so passionate about helping other business owners to live their dream lives
The one thing Lucy wants you to know as a soulful business owner
