SCORE’s “Top Ten Tips To Make Your Small Business Lawsuit-Proof” on February 25
(SAVANNAH, GA) Savannah SCORE announces the Top Ten Tips Lecture Series, entitled “Top 10 Tips to Make Your Small Business Lawsuit-Proof.” The presentation will be held in the SCORE conference room, 111 E. Liberty Street, Savannah, on Wednesday, February 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The expert speaker will be business attorney Charles Bowen, founder of The Bowen Law Group. The lecture is free and open to the public. Please RSVP with SCORE at 912-652-4335.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: What should business owners do to ensure their companies are legal and to protect themselves from personal litigation that could have devastating financial damages? Business attorney Charles Bowen will review ten important, yet simple and affordable, steps, including:
• Setting up the correct business structure
• Getting the proper insurance
• Writing simple, enforceable contracts
• Ensuring agreements are in writing
• Acquiring and filing proper permits and registrations
Bowen will also discuss the importance of including disclaimers in contracts, how to resolve business complaints quickly and directly, and the importance of not cutting any legal corners.
“It costs a lot less than most people imagine to set up a business properly and legally,” said Bowen. “And this is just as important for small business owners as it is for large firms. Spending a few hundred dollars up front for a lawyer to review a contract is much more affordable than a lawsuit that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars later on.”
Bowen is also offering a free downloadable ebook on The Bowen Law Group’s website that explains how form a corporation, LLC or LLP in Georgia. This, along with other practical information for business owners, is available at thebowenlawgroup.com on the “News” tab.
