“Owning Intellectual Property is required to scale your expertise-based Business.
Do you own what you think you own?”

You are a professional with sophisticated corporate clients. You are that special breed of expert who doesn’t have an “office” but please, don’t call you an online business.
Legal products and services for online businesses are everywhere. They aren’t right for you. Your questions and concerns aren’t the same as wedding photographers and health coaches.
When you are investing in the growth of your business, you need advice and resources that address the issues that set you apart from other service businesses. Owning and controlling intellectual property is the pre-requisite to scaling your B2B expertise-based business.
