In today's episode, I’m diving into a topic that every entrepreneur needs to understand: how to protect your business legally without spending a fortune. I may not be a lawyer, but after years of building and running multiple businesses, I’ve learned a lot about the legal steps small business owners need to take to stay protected and profitable.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned about choosing the right business structure, using solid contracts and client agreements, creating essential website policies, protecting your intellectual property, and knowing when (and what kind of) business insurance makes sense. I’ll also introduce you to Small Business Legal 101, a practical and affordable course taught by licensed attorney Sam Vander Wielen, available inside Startup Society.

Whether you’re just getting started or have been in business for a while, this episode will help you understand the key legal protections your business needs and how to get them in place without breaking the bank.

• The most important legal protections every small business should have in place
