About this audiobook
Starting a business with someone you trust can feel like the right move. A friend brings skills. A family member brings money. A colleague offers a promising deal. But most business breakups do not start with bad motives. They start with bad assumptions.
In this volume of the bestselling Seven Deadly Legal Mistakes series, Brett Bacon, Esq., draws on over thirty years of experience as an attorney to explain the most common legal mistakes people make when going into business with others. He covers handshake deals, unclear ownership, 50/50 splits, silent partners, weak liability protection, poor decision-making structures, and missing exit plans.
Written in plain English, this practical guide shows how these problems arise in the real world—and how to avoid them before they damage your money, your business, and your relationships.
