Building A Strong Legal Foundation For Your Business

Today we’re getting into all things legal! Lauren Boyd is the Founder of Guide My Business, a boutique law firm that empowers entrepreneurs by helping them to build a strong legal foundation, and she’s joining me today to deep dive into all of the really important legal aspects of your business. I have seen too many boutiques and retailers get their social media or Shopify accounts taken down by simply not doing the legal stuff right, so this is an episode you literally can’t afford to miss!

Grab your pen and paper and get ready to take notes as we walk through the importance of not only trademarking your own business, but also making sure that the brands you are buying from have proper licensing agreements in place on their end. We also dive into HR law, the difference between hiring employees versus hiring contractors, and all the things that you need to know to make sure that your business is set up on a strong legal foundation right from the jump.
