I was recently interviewed for an article at Bankrate.com on how a small business could minimize the risks associated with running their business. I wasn’t sure when it was going to run but it appears to be live now.
It covers Seven different ways that every business owner should be reviewing to minimize their risks.
1) Be Cash Conscious
2) Insure against specific risks
3) Change your insurance as your business changes
4) Insure your key people
5) Use contractual indemnification clauses
6) Give yourself an out
7) Create separate entities.
I think it is a very good article (given that I was a source in it I guess I am a little biased huh? )
