No small business owner wants to deal with the legal issues of doing business-- or with lawyers, for that matter. But there's no hiding from the law when you're an entrepreneur. It affects many of the things you do in the normal course of running your business: what type of business to set up, licences and permits, contracts, employment, taxes, litigation, and much more. The penalties for not being on the right side of the law are obvious: you can be fined, imprisoned or shut down. But not knowing the law can also result in disastrous business consequences: lawsuits, bad business deals, or even bankruptcy. Make It Legal: What Every Canadian Entrepreneur Needs to Know About the Law is a practical, accessible, and easy-to-understand guide to setting up and running a business in Canada. A valuable resource for new and established business owners alike, this book arms you with the right issues to consider and questions to ask-- it may even help you keep legal fees to a minimum. Covers the legal issues crucial to every stage of a business's life-cycle.
Combines essential information about the law with practical advice on the everyday matters of business ownership, such as insurance, financing, and getting paid. Helps you recognize when you need to consult a lawyer, and when you can go it alone. Shows how to work with your lawyer and how legal professionals can and should be part of your business team. Written in easy-to-understand, non-legal language. Includes practical tips, checklists, and stories from entrepreneurs who have "been there." PROFIT: The Magazine for Canadian Entrepreneurs is Canada's only national magazine written specifically for the most dynamic sector of the economy: small and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs.
Margaret Kerr and JoAnn Kurtz are both lawyers, with experience in teaching, in research, and in practice, dealing face-to-face with clients' questions and concerns. They are the authors of The Complete Guide to Buying, Owning and Selling a Home in Canada, also published by Wiley.
