#30. What Small Business Owners Get Wrong Before They Ever Call a Lawyer

from Smart Money Conversations · host Brett Croft, CFP®, CFA®, CTFA® and Chris Tabish

Most small business owners don't call a lawyer until something's already gone wrong. By then, it's expensive. Matthew Fornaro has spent 23 years in the trenches of business law in South Florida — one of the most litigious business environments in the country — and he's seen the same preventable mistakes play out over and over again. Wrong contracts, LLC's losing that coveted liability protection, missing documents, commingled funds, and employees masquerading as independent contractors. In this episode of Smart Money Conversations, Brett Croft and Chris Tabish get candid, practical legal advice straight from a guy who goes to court for a living.No theory. No legalese. Just the stuff every business owner needs to hear before they need a lawyer.website: https://fornarolegal.com/contact-us/Produced by 32Q LLC
