Legal Advice for Members

The legal issues small business owners face are unique and varied. Common challenges we've seen our members encounter include:

• Choosing the wrong business type: An incorrectly structured business could expose personal assets or stress working relationships.
• Employment issues: Challenges can arise from employment practices like hiring and firing, work environments, pay structure, employment contracts, and more.
• Documentation challenges: Issues may include poorly written contracts or regulatory compliance record keeping.
• Debt collection issues: It happens — sometimes customers don't pay, and you'll need to pursue legal action when your collection efforts haven't been successful.
• Dissatisfied customers: You work hard to make your customers happy and build a good reputation. Dissatisfied customers may file suits, leave negative reviews or attempt to discredit your business.
