We find the risks
you didn't know existed.

From contracts to acquisitions — every business decision carries risk. We help you see it clearly before you commit.

  • Service agreements and client contracts
  • Franchise and licensing agreements
  • Non-compete and restrictive covenant review
  • Liability and indemnification clause analysis

  • Key person and succession risk
  • Technology and data exposure review

Common Risk Areas

Risks small businesses
face every day.

These are the most common risk exposures we identify in small business engagements — many of which owners don't discover until it's too late.

⬤ High Risk
Unsigned or Vague Contracts

Operating on handshake agreements or vague contracts creates massive liability exposure when disputes arise.

Contract Risk
⬤ High Risk
Misclassified Workers

Treating employees as independent contractors incorrectly exposes businesses to IRS penalties and labor law violations.

Employment Risk
⬤ High Risk
Insurance Coverage Gaps

Underinsured businesses face catastrophic losses from claims their policies don't fully cover.

Coverage Risk
⬤ Medium Risk
No Succession Plan

Without documented succession plans, business ownership and operations become legally uncertain upon a key person's incapacity or death.

Continuity Risk
⬤ Medium Risk
Unfavorable Lease Terms

Commercial leases with auto-renewals, personal guarantees, and unfavorable exit clauses trap businesses in costly agreements.

Property Risk
⬤ Medium Risk
Acquisition Without Due Diligence

Buying a business without thorough due diligence means inheriting unknown liabilities, legal issues, and operational problems.
