It’s a myth that protecting intellectual property (IP) only benefits larger businesses and is unsuited to smaller companies.

A strategic handling of a company's intangible assets can catapult small, local businesses toward greater global recognition.

In fact, the evidence is that small serviced based businesses that apply for patents, trademarks or designs are more likely to grow quickly and succeed than those that do not!

Are you a serviced based entrepreneur struggling to scale your business due to lack of knowledge on intellectual property?

Which results in: 

• Stress and overwhelm;
• Stagnant Business Growth; 
• Inability to hire needed staff;
• Lack of Access to Capital and Funding;
• The potential for intellectual property theft due to you not properly securing you brands, systems, and processes.

What it also leads to: 

• Increased levels of stress;
• Potential business failure;
• Burnout due to constantly having to work to find positive streams of income to funnel into your business.

This can’t be life Sis!
