Do you feel that you just don’t care about the legal aspects of your business? Is dealing with the legal risks in your business something that you don’t want to have to consider and you think can be just figured out later? We hear business owners say that they don’t care about the legal aspects of their business. Ignoring these issues is a problem for your future success as a business owner as truthfully this avoidance will cost you a lot more than you think. In this article we will discuss the two main excuses that we hear, I can just fix it later and lawyers are expensive.
The legal aspects of my business don’t matter
Most legal problems can be prevented if you act in a proactive way before they arise. All too often business owners take a reactive approach to the legal problems in their business. This costs them a lot of money as they think that they can just ignore the problems before they arise and that they will just fix the problem later. This is a dangerous path to tread as you will continue to expose your business to problems that can be avoided. These problems can end up exploding to a point where they can’t just be fixed later, and they are often irreversible.
Lawyers are a cost that I don’t want to incur
Often the investment of being proactive can seem like a lot at the time but the cost of not dealing with your legal risks before they arise is so much more. You need to consider the cost of obtaining legal advice as an investment in your future, just like insurance is an investment in helping you if there is a future problem with your business. The reason that we developed the Business Legal Lifecycle was due to my frustration with the fact that so many people could prevent problems before they arise.
One business owner nearly lost $2million of his own money because he didn’t want to invest in legal advice. Another ex-partnership lost over $1million of other people’s money all because they didn’t invest early in their business. When you shift your mindset to legal fees being an investment rather than a cost then you will see the benefits in obtaining legal advice.
