Another great NAWBO Phoenix Wealth Wise Women gathering! I always love the combination of practical education, meaningful conversations, and incredible women supporting one another.
Wendy Anderson, Juliette Burgess, and Davina shared valuable insights on the legal issues business owners don’t always think about — until they become expensive problems!
From entity structures and contracts to three important areas of intellectual property protection:
- Copyrights – Protecting the original content and creative work your business produces.
- Trademarks & Licensing – Protecting your brand and logos, including who can use them and under what terms.
- Trade Secrets – Safeguarding your R&D, pricing, confidential information, and that all-important secret sauce!
As a business broker and M&A advisor, I see firsthand how these seemingly small details can become BIG issues during due diligence. What you haven’t properly protected can impact what a buyer is willing to pay!
My biggest takeaway? Don’t wait until you’re ready to sell to make sure you actually own and can transfer what makes your business valuable.
A huge thank-you to Wendy, Juliette, and Davina for sharing their expertise and making us all think a little differently about protecting what we’ve worked so hard to build!
And, of course, the conversations and connections are just as valuable as the education.
Wealth Wise Women: Come for the conversation. Discover the community.
