"Understanding "legalese" may seem like an overwhelming task, if not an impossibility, but if you intend to build a growing business you need to become comfortable."
The Lowdown On Contracts
" Like most people, small business owners tend to shy away from
signing anything. They avoid contracts like the plague. But this is a
risky way to do business."
Fair Selling
If you are selling products to the retail or wholesale trade, you need to sell on equal terms to outlets that may be deemed to be competing with each other, unless you can economically justify different terms.
Staying out of court
In all but the most extreme cases, you want to avoid going to court either as a plaintiff or a defendant. Think about it. Do you really want to shell out the huge legal fees you are likely to incur?

Streetwise Small Business Start-Up
When you start a small business you soon discover that things just don't happen in the real world the way they tell you in business textbooks: Invoices don't get paid by their due dates,
ads don't consistently bring in customers, sales don't continually rise, and profits aren't always there.
In this book, small business maverick Bob Adams shows you how things really get done, and acts as your mentor by providing instant access to streetwise advice on every small business topic.
