"Fine Print" for Small Businesses:
Ten Steps to Using "Boilerplate"
To Avoid Unnecessary Lawsuits











For entrepreneurs, slogging through the fine print of a contract is about as tedious as trying to run through a lake full of molasses: it's painfully slow going, and most people don't understand what they're supposed to get out of the exercise anyway. But, like an alligator lying in wait for its prey just below the water's surface, that's precisely why legal boilerplate can be so dangerous for small businesses. It can BITE you if you're not careful!

I remember a Massachusetts-based business consultant who came to me because she wanted to sue a major corporation that owed her money. Close to $10,000.00, in fact. Chump change to a multinational behemoth, but significant to Barbara. Sure, she had a written agreement, but she didn't focus on the fine print terms that required that all lawsuits be brought not in her home state -- but in Nevada! As if not getting paid wasn't enough of a kick in the head, Barbara now had to schlepp across the country to bring her case...and pay for the privilege.

Wouldn't you like to "shut the door" on prolonged and expensive disputes?

Understanding and developing your own "fine print" is a sure way of preventing these kinds of risks from happening to you - and of having greater control over your legal remedies!
