Business Owners: Do you want your business to be still around in 5 years time and making money? How to stop your business being sunk by legal disaster

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Between 33%-43% of businesses fail during the first 7 years of trading

Depending upon which statistics you believe, between 33-43% of businesses do not survive their first seven years of trading. Often these businesses haven't failed for lack of a good idea - simply that they weren't robust enough to handle the cut and thrust of the business world.

The business world is like the ocean

In the ocean there are friendly fish and there are predators. Survival requires knowing where to find food and making sure you are not someone else's dinner.

In business it is much the same. It is not just about getting as many customers or clients as you can: you can have a great turnover and still be vulnerable to attack. You must also protect your business from predators so that you aren't just another statistic.

Unfortunately, the sharks are not obvious and each shark requires a different strategy to keep it at bay. Many business owners learn these strategies by having lucky escapes. So, why not learn those mistakes before you end up making them - you may not be so lucky...

Introducing Sharkproof Your Business: How to Stop Your Business Being Sunk By Legal Disaster

Sharkproof Your Business: How to Stop Your Business Being Sunk by Legal Disaster is a 6 part seminar series being run in Auckland during the second half of 2006. It is designed to teach you how to keep your business safe from business predators so that in the years to come your business will still be profitable and making you money.

But my business is already making money

If you are making money in your business now, why would you want to come to this seminar series? Simply because there is no guarantee that trend will continue unless your business is sharkproof. In the same way that one good break can make a business, one legal disaster can break a business. Acting now to safeguard the future of your business allows you to:

Build a business that guarantees you an income into your retirement; or
Create a saleable commodity which will be attractive to a buyer or suitable for franchising; or
Pass on an asset, not a liability, to your children.

So, whatever your motives for going into business this seminar series is for you.

How exactly will the seminar series help me?

The seminar series will teach you legal strategies which you can apply in your business today to ensure you can achieve your long term objectives. These strategies will:

Help you identify the sharks in business;
Keep the sharks at bay;
Assist you to grow your business so you can fight back if necessary.

Each seminar focuses on a different type of shark and I will show you how you can use the law to ensure that the shark doesn't eat your profits (or worse still eat your business).

Download the introductory seminar

The first seminar held on 27 June taught you how to save money on lawyers fees by knowing when you need to see a lawyer to draft a written agreement (and when you don't). It also set out my 8 step system for writing your own legal agreements for those times when going to a lawyer is simply not cost effective. The information in that seminar alone was worth thousands of dollars.

Everyone who came to the introductory seminar on 27 June got great value from it - but don't take their word for it, see for yourself by watching the video and downloading the Shark Report which accompanies the seminar series - simply complete your details below to be taken to the download page.
