What is the Business Owner Plan? The business owner’s plan is offered to small businesses with 1-99 employees.

Offered to businesses that meet the following criteria: For-Profit Business No Publicly Traded Stock Fewer than 100 Employees
Why Business Owners Need It Small businesses are one of the fastest growing markets in the US today. They have all of the needs, problems, legal exposure and liability of large businesses, but without the benefits of proper counseling, finances or legal and business expertise. Small businesses need access to legal experts in all areas of business.

How Much Does it Cost to be Member of the Business Plan? That depends on whether your clients buy it or not. If they buy it, the cost is $75/$125 per month. But what is the cost of not buying the business owner’s plan? You tell me. How much does it cost to sign a contract you shouldn’t have signed. To not collect on money owed to your business. To not get the correct marketing, tax, or technology help your business needs? How much will it cost to: Come up with a retainer for a $200 or more per hour attorney when you are sued? What is the cost of not getting the help, consultation, and assistance you need in the areas of corporate law, collections, tax, accounting, website development and more? With all buying decisions there is a cost if you do and cost if you don’t. There is a cost of owning our business plan, but the cost of not owning a plan could be greater.
