Show Notes

“The average business has about 25% chance of surviving the first four years… but if you’re involved in litigation, your odds of surviving go down to 17%.”

—  Jay Razzouk


Many entrepreneurs don’t know how to protect themselves and their businesses when it comes to the law — and this goes far beyond the question of whether to choose incorporation or LLC!


Attorney Jay Razzouk spent over a decade helping Fortune 500 companies avoid and fix billion-dollar mistakes. Now, through his ProSCALE Legal Coaching, he helps online entrepreneurs protect their assets, deal with the legalities of owning their businesses... and securely scale beyond 7 figures!


“Executives know the risk and make informed decisions, but entrepreneurs are people who are gung-ho and go for it not really knowing what they might face,” Jay explains. “When it comes to the legal space, there’s so much out there in terms of misinformation.”


From tax structures to contract law to trademarks, this episode is packed with legal information entrepreneurs NEED to know.


In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

  • Small problems that scale alongside your business
  • Legal complexities of hiring and selling outside your region
  • The #1 lawsuit brought against businesses
