What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Being in business for over twenty years, you think you have it all figured out. This book is a great reminder that we need a great expert attorney in our corner and more importantly, we need to call on them more. One simple mistake could be detrimental to your success. I am so thankful for this book; it’s a reminder to stay in your lane and to never assume you understand the legal jargon. The cost of navigating legal matters on your own will be far less than getting a business attorney involved from the beginning. Having the peace of mind that you are entering into an arrangement and the risk it mitigates could truly be priceless. Can you afford not to?

As entrepreneurs, we are so quick and excited to get a deal done. This book has given us great practical knowledge we can actually understand and apply to our business. This book is a must read for any business owner. When we first read this book, we had so many assumptions about how we should work with our attorney. Business SOS! made it easy for us to understand that having a lawyer who has your back can really save you from a bad decision when making a deal.
