Launching a small business is a monumental step. Keeping that small business running is just as critical, but few owners consider the risks they will face.
For example:
Do you have an attorney?
You may not need one often, but when you do need one, you better have one. Take the time to compare attorneys by scheduling an interview with each before you hire them. Discuss payment options - most attorneys have affordable solutions for even the smallest business.
Buy business insurance Most businesses need general liability insurance, and if you provide advice or professional services to customers, you may also need professional liability insurance, also known as E&O (errors and omissions) coverage. Protect your business data
