Nurture Small Business
The 13 Stages of The Business Lifecycle And Your Legal Risk
Show Notes

Jeremy Streten has worked with over 5000 clients throughout his career and documented when they had success and when they faced pitfalls legally. He talks about those from start up to exit strategy with 13 distinct business lifecycles. This is all laid out in his book The Business Legal Lifecycle.  

Jeremy shares how some businesses, not wanting to spend legal fees, lose large sums of money well beyond what they would have paid for legal counsel. That inactivity is comparable to the antiquated notion that legal services are a liability rather than an asset. By investing in legal services and advice, the proactiveness protects your business and saves future fees in potential litigation or disputes with things like client or employee agreements.  

Listeners have an opportunity to take a 10-minute assessment that identifies where you are in your business lifecycle and your legal risks. This report can be taken to your attorney, and if you don’t have one, you can use the attorney referral tool on his website.
