Essential webinar series on protecting and maximising your company's assets & value
Running a high growth SME is never easy. You're growing the business and assume everyone - suppliers, directors, employees - is pulling together with you. All too often we see smaller, high growth businesses come seriously unstuck over some relatively minor oversight. Maybe a director leaves but still has shares and blocks key strategic developments, a key supplier effectively halts business output over a contractual disagreement, or an employee leaves taking vital IP with them. We see owner/managers who are concentrating so hard on growing the business, the legal protection of what they have developed is overlooked. Join us for the series of webinars which offer a jargon-free, easy overview of the day-to-day housekeeping issues any owner/manager should be aware. If your business is either relatively young, relies on one or two key suppliers, or has recently had phenomenal growth, you can't afford to miss this.
