Protecting Your Business

Small business owners and entrepreneurs are faced with a number of issues related to protecting their business. This workshop will address how having the proper insurance coverage and legal entity can provide a business owner with the comfort and coverage they need so that they can continue doing what really matters to them...running their business.

After optional tours of Thinkspace's great facility, which you can read about below, the afternoon will start at 5:30 with 15 minutes of networking and and an opportunity to talk about what specific issues bring you to the workshop. Then, David and I will provide an overview of legal entities and business insurance tailored to be useful to attendees, with ample time built into our presentations for questions. We'll conclude with a further opportunity to network and ask questions.

Legal Issues to be addressed include:

• Why should I select an entity for my business?
• What entity is right for my business?
• What steps do I need to go through to properly register my business with the state, local, and federal government?

Insurance questions to be addressed include:

• What kind of insurance is usual in my business area?
• How does the insurance industry work?
• What questions should I ask an insurance agent?
• Should my car be insured as part of my business?
• Do I need professional liability?
• Your own questions about protecting your business

We'll encourage questions and discussion and hope that this workshop provides both participants and facilitators with the opportunity to learn from one another.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone there!
