Event description

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.

The afternoon start 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!

    I think this sounds like a GREAT workshop for small biz people. I've already slogged through most of these issues in my business. If you ever offer a "201" sequel to this class, I'd be up for it. Or if you could offer something related to health professionals, that'd be cool too. :-)

    David and Sarah--

    Sorry for the late reply, but THANK YOU for a great interactive workshop. You both provided valuable tips and guidelines within your respective areas--a lot of the "101" information that will make finding insurance and sorting out the "LLC vs. C Corp" decisions WAY less daunting for a newbie biznik like me. A great pairing of the right topics "within the scope of THAT presentation" ;-)

    Loved the venue, too! Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
