The Legal Side of the Wedding Business

Guest SpeakersIn my experience one of the biggest failures of a new business owner is to establish a proper legal foundation and research various requirements to legally set up a new business.

Therefore, in conjunction with our next Weducation Workshop on March 12, 2011 I am pleased to welcome Ruth Rivard from the well-known law firm, Leonard, Street & Deinard of Minneapolis to enlighten our workshop attendees into the legalities of going into business for oneself and protecting oneself should problems arise.

I'm excited to hear her perspective and advice on what a new wedding planner must do to properly establish their business within the laws of their state, what's required to register and trademark protect their name and how to prepare a legally binding contract. I know her presentation will give our attendees something to seriously consider when they take their next big step towards starting their own business.
