Matthew Cusack - Brand risk causing £7m of investment to be withheld


Listen Later

Have you checked your brand’s intellectual property?

 

Imagine having £7million of investment held because you found another business already had your name. This is exactly what happened to a company my guest in this episode, Matthew Cusack, is working with.

 

Matt is Managing Director of National Business Register Group Limited (NBR), an Intellectual Property business, and is responsible for driving the business’ strategy and growth plans. He firmly believes that “people buy people” and relationships are key to the growth of any successful business.

 

In this episode he discusses the importance of IP (Intellectual Property) to businesses and the risks of not protecting your brand. He also shares what to have in your shareholder agreements and what to do if you are concerned about your IP.

 

“Every transaction is unique, and every transaction throws up its challenges” – Matthew Cusak
