Episode 138: Protect Your Passion with Sarah Waldbuesser of Destination Legal

If the THOUGHT of legalese brings on hives, this is the episode for you.

This episode is packed with the legal advice every business needs. You'll want to bookmark this one for sure.

Key Takeaways

Sarah is an advocate for good contracts. She says they're even more important than getting an LLC or insurance. No matter the size or location of your business, contracts build boundaries and set expectations.
Remember your website needs a privacy policy, disclaimer, terms of service, and terms of purchase.
Destination Legal has different contract templates for different industries. Life coaching has different liability than fitness and nutrition, for example.
If you're confused about what services you may need, check out Sarah's starter bundles. You can build as you grow.
When to trademark? Sarah says to do the gut check: How would you feel if you received a cease and desist for your signature program? If it would totally rock your business you need to trademark.
Should you get an LLC or S Corp? S Corps are for corporations. You can always start with an LLC and move up to an S Corp in the future.
The FIRST legal help you need is a contract, LLC comes next. Don't let the LLC stop you from getting started, but a contract is a must.
Here is a link to Sarah's free legal checklist for coaches.
