S3 E5: Don't Wait Until It Goes Wrong With Lucy Folley
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Prevention, not cure. That's the message from Lucy at Tees Law - and it's one most business owners probably need to hear.
In this episode, Richard speaks to Lucy from Tees Law, a firm with over a century of history and a commercial practice that works with businesses from first idea all the way through to exit.
They get into the practical stuff - what micro businesses get wrong and why it matters, what buyers find when they do due diligence, and what happens when shares haven't been properly documented, liability hasn't been capped, or supply contracts are about to expire. Lucy explains how getting these things right isn't just about compliance - it's about building value.
They also cover Tees' unique wealth practice, which sits alongside the legal offering to help business owners think about personal finances and tax planning as part of the same picture, and why talking to a lawyer doesn't have to wait for something to go wrong.
There are 9,000 micro businesses in Essex. This one's for all of them.
