Hiring & Firing

Hiring and firing team members is the single most expensive part of your business, bar none. And most entrepreneurs simply have no idea how to go about it, not just from a legal perspective, but from a how to run your business perspective.

We can help you hire right, train smart and fire when necessary so that you keep as much time and money in your business as possible.

You’ve heard the saying, “hire slow and fire fast”, right? Well that makes a whole lot of sense when you have the right legal processes for hiring and firing in place. If you don’t, well this can be a sticky, tricky area. In fact, hiring and firing could very well be the biggest risk area in your business.

What are some of the risks?

Well there’s a whole lot you need to know about when it comes to how you hire – what you can say and not say, what you can ask and must never ask, how to set up payroll, designate team members as independent contractors or employees, and of course, how to fire. Hiring and firing team members is your greatest area of risk in your business. We mitigate that risk.

Agreements And Sealing The Deal

Incorporating your business entity is just the very beginning – we help your business grow!

You probably haven’t thought of your business like this, but really, it’s just a series of agreements. Agreements with investors or lenders, clients and vendors, employees and independent contractors, partners and customers; the success of your business depends on your ability to make agreements and seal the deal.

This is where most business owners struggle mightily, and we can help. We love to create clear agreements; help you set boundaries and manage expectations. We know that the future of your business hinges on it. That’s why we won’t simply incorporate your business and send you on your way. Nope, every engagement with us begins with either a review of your current agreements or, if you don’t have any, the creation of the core agreements that are vital to your business.

Then, we will proactively monitor your business activities to ensure we are helping you seal the deal on an ongoing basis. Plus, provide you with template agreements you can use to handle recurring agreements that come up consistently, such as those with your clients.

We use an innovative agreement process that gets all parties on the same page and leads only to triple win situations – that means that an agreement must be a win for you, the other party and the situation as a whole. If it’s not, no deal.

You see, we understand that it’s your upfront agreements (and your/our ability to renegotiate those agreements) that will keep you in the flow of business and out of the crunch of conflict.

If you have undocumented agreements (or no agreements at all), consider asking us to conduct a LIFT Foundation Audit and support you to take your business to the next level with the agreements your work deserves. During the LIFT Foundation Audit, we will review your existing contracts as well.
