Being in business is risky business – so to speak.
Often much riskier than most Entrepreneurs realise.
Legal issues will always exist but we all need to arm ourselves with the knowledge of what could go wrong in order to protect ourselves, our business and our families from disaster.
You may have just (borrowed and) paid to buy and deliver your first $100k for a special stock order to a giant chain of stores and you find out that they hone into liquidation the day after they got the delivery. What if?
You may be just starting out and only just getting traction and you’re about to get a phone call telling you that someone had an electrical shock by one of your electronic products you’ve been importing from China.
You may have been persistently and tirelessly building your business for years and you’re about to get slapped by a Fair Work claim or Worker’s Compensation fine that can threaten your existence.
You have just lost one of your best staff and are about to get a call from one of your regular customers that your former 2IC has gone into competition with you and is calling all your clients – and your employment contract was missing a critical link and doesn’t give you any protection.
Some lawyers are dream takers, they just don’t get it. If every Entrepreneurs did EXACTLY what their lawyer told them, you’d never got off the ground, never take a risk, and, you could go broke forever seeking advice. Of course you need a good lawyer in your corner, some one who is balance.
Entrepreneurs need to know how to drive lawyers to get the best bang for buck and not just follow. You need to know enough to have balanced conversations with experts. And yes, the risks can be overwhelming.
Avoid spending tens or hundreds of thousands lining the pockets of lawyers who overcharge
Or you’ll be running off to your lawyer for every decision you need to make … urghhh!
And we’re not saying to ‘wing it’ and ‘shoot from the hip’ either…
- Otherwise you could end up in hot water in a heartbeat
- You will easily be taken for a ride by someone who knows better
- You can jeopardise everything because ‘I didn’t know‘ does not count in the eyes of the law
There needs to be a balance.
That’s where we come in…

Rick Chisholm
Founder, Serial Entrepreneur and Mentor
As the founder of InnovestSME, Lightsounds, LSW, Light Emotion and Author of Business Success for Life, Rick helps owners of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) achieve and exceed their business goals. And unlike other business coaches, he actually walks the talk – He has started and grown over 30+ SMEs in a variety of industries and turned over in excess of $300 million. He has experienced great success, but he has also failed. He’s been near broke more than once. He’s been sued. In 1990, thanks to the recession ‘we had to have’, his first million-dollar-business took a big hit and revenue more than halved.
The lesson is that for any SME, struggle precedes success. Rick has faced and overcome the exact same business challenges you are facing right now and can help you do the same.

Shortly after transitioning my part-time business to a full-time venture, I found myself needing to secure more regular, on-going business opportunities. I have worked with Rick and Tala for some time and found that their no-fuss approach to business resonated with me. They have helped me clarify my thoughts and begin to structure some robust business processes, delivering immediate results.
Automation Squared
Rick has certainly taught me the importance of KPI’s…apart from other aspects. It will change the way business will be conducted. Rick has got what it takes in taking a group of average people to the best of their ability.
former Franchisee
If only I had known the stuff that Rick taught me BEFORE I started my Masters degree and wasted years of my life doing. Only to run my business and get hammered by customers that never paid up! I would have saved 5 years learning what I REALLY needed to know. No one I’ve ever met knows business like this bloke, he’s the real deal”
Incredible wealth of knowledge and great directions to managing and growing a successful business. Rick is a seasoned entrepreneur!”
AWL Accounting
Rick’s guidance has been critical to the growth of my firm. I’ve had plenty of sports coaches, so working with a business coach made perfect sense to me”.

Is this just a scaremongering session so I can use your legal services or something?
No.
Firstly, Innovest is not a legal firm. The guest speakers are competent lawyers that we’ve used time and again but they are not part of our company.
Secondly, Innovest specialises in helping business accelerate their growth, not slow it down! sure, we’re telling you about the risks but our intention is that you put the guards in place to MAKE SURE you can ACCELERATE the growth of your business!
Are you going to try and sell me something during this session?
We give the maximum amount of content and value possible within the time that is allocated for the session. What you decide to do with that is up to you. We will also let you know about the (ridiculously affordable) business education and acceleration programs that Innovest has to offer but we don’t do the hard sell on people. That’s always our PROMISE!
How do I know this is relevant to me? My business is not risky in any way, really.
It is. Something in this content will be relevenat to every business at one point or another. If there is not ONE thing that is relevant ask for a refund, its cool. You many not think that it’s risky, but you don’t know what you don’t know.
We’ve encountered many owners of ‘safe‘ businesses that ended up in massive trouble with risk of imprisonment for ‘crimes‘ that you would never have imagined were serious. We’ll tell you one of those stories when you come along!
Will attending this session protect me from all potential legal quarrels?
No. That’s impossible to guarantee as you probably know already! We’ve only got a couple of hours of content to share (in between a bit of networking, breaks and getting free advice). We CANNOT cover all possible risks but we will do our absolute best to give you the good oil from both perspectives.
Right here: Register for this event and you’re on the path to a safer and more predictable business future!
Don't let your business land you in jail!
