DESCRIPTION:Before signing a loan\, contract\, or agreement\, there are a lot of key things to look for and questions you should ask as a business owner. This session is designed to help you make informed decisions before committing to anything that could impact your business long-term. Structured as a guided FAQ\, the presentation will walk through five key questions every business owner should consider before signing\, including: what you’re actually agreeing to\, what you may be personally risking\, what terms can be negotiated\, common red flags\, and when to involve a lawyer.
