The Accidental Franchise
Ontario introduced franchise legislation in 2000. PEI introduced a similar law in 2006. However, many business continue to operate without regard to whether they are a franchise or not. This article considers the factors that businesses need to analyse in order to determine if they are a franchise. Hiding your head in the sand is not an option. Failure to comply with franchise legislation can lead to unbelievably severe consequences, including liability in a class action proceeding, personal liability of officers and directors, and a requirement to pay back every penny invested by franchisees in acquiring and operating their franchise. Many systems who consider themselves to be distributorships ARE FRANCHISES. What you call yourself is not important--it is the substance of the relationship that will determine your fate.
How to Deal with Difficult Business Partners
All successful companies have one thing in common. On average, they carry more assets than they do liabilities. These companies are also quick to take note when something that was once an asset now has become a liability. They either try to make this new liability an asset again or they swiftly remove it from the company.

How directors can prevent themselves being liable for their company’s debts
The reason most start up business owners decide to form a company is to protect themselves in the event that their business goes belly up.

However, in times of hardship, limited liability may not be all its cracked up to be and business owners could end up being personally liable for their company’s debts if they fail out to carry their duties as a director properly.
Beware Time Liabilities
Are you surrounded by Time Liabilities? I define a Time Liability as: a) anything that consumes time unnecessarily or b) anything that causes you to spend time in activities that are less profitable than your most profitable activity. If your filing system causes you to spend extra time doing $9 per hour clerical work, trying to find that important document you misplaced, then you have a Time Liability. If your workspace is so uncomfortable that you have to spend time at a chiropractor every month to correct your spine alignment problems, you definitely have a Time Liability!
Reserves and Provisions
Every prudently and systematically managed business concern makes some provision out of current profits for meeting an anticipated liability, redeeming a liability, replacing an asset or for some other important business purpose.

General Contractors Liability Insurance, Additional Insureds, Certificates of Insurance, the Misnomers. Regarding General Contractors Liability Insurance and General Liability Insurance Certificates, there is a grand misnomer running rampant through the construction industry in NY, NJ and MA. I only speak about these states because I am familiar with their laws as they apply to the insurance, construction industry and the labor law.

Determining the Business Entity Best for Your New Business
One of the most important matters that a person needs to focus on in the early stages of starting a business is determining the type of business entity to operate the business. You need to address this issue with the advice of an experienced business attorney in coordination with a certified public accountant. Most individuals operate his or her business under one of the following entities: 1. Sole Proprietorship; 1. General Partnership; 2. Limited Partnership; 3. Joint Venture; 4. "C" Corporation; 5. "S" Corporation; or 6. Limited Liability Company.

Insurance Defense Costs
Does Your Business Insurance Policy Cover Defense Costs Within the Insurance Limit or Defense Costs Outside of the Insurance Limit? Did you know that a liability policy, which is part of any typical business insurance policy or commercial insurance policy coverage, has two distinct obligations? A liability insurance policy, if it is a general liability, product liability or professional liability insurance policy is designed to protect you against your legal obligation to pay others because you have hurt them and/or have damaged their property. A policy also defends you against claims or lawsuits. In other words, besides paying for claims or suits, a liability policy also pays for their related legal costs and court fees.
