How to avoid costly legal and operational mistakes that can put your business — and your family's livelihood — at risk.
The essential documents and exit strategies every Arizona business owner needs to stay protected and operational.
Practical ways to keep your business running if you're temporarily or permanently unable to manage it.
How to prevent probate delays, protect your privacy, and ensure your loved ones can access what they need.

This workshop is for any business owner who wants to protect what they've built — whether you run a brick-and-mortar shop, an online business, a rental property operation, or a professional practice. Even if you're a solo entrepreneur or just getting started, you'll walk away with practical steps to secure your business and your family.

Yes! Even solo business owners and professionals need a plan to keep things running if something happens to them. We'll cover how to make sure your income continues, your clients are supported, and your assets are protected, whether you have a team or not.
Not at all. Whether your business brings in $50,000 or $5 million, the legal principles of protection are the same. You'll learn how to right-size your plan for your stage of growth and your unique goals.
We regularly serve and educate business owners from all industries — doctors, dentists, therapists, realtors, attorneys, consultants, builders, restaurant owners, Airbnb hosts — you name it! If you earn income through a business, this event will help you protect it.
Yes. If you own rental properties — long-term or short-term — you're running a business, even if it doesn't feel like one. We'll discuss how to protect those assets from liability and make sure they pass smoothly to your loved ones.
That's a great start! You'll learn how to update and integrate your existing plan so that it actually protects your business — something most generic estate plans overlook.
No! The event is completely free — we just ask that you register so we can plan for seating and refreshments.
