5 Legal Mistakes Small Businesses Make—and How to Avoid Them

Running a Business? Don’t Let Legal Mistakes Hold You Back
As a small business owner, your focus is on growth, customer satisfaction, and making an impact. However, even minor legal mistakes can lead to major headaches—missed opportunities, financial losses, or compliance issues.

At Go Legal AI, we’ve worked with thousands of entrepreneurs to help them tackle their legal challenges head-on. Here are the top five legal pitfalls businesses make and how you can avoid them.

1. Not Using Proper Contracts

Far too many businesses operate on verbal agreements or poorly drafted contracts. This exposes you to risks like payment disputes or unclear expectations.

💡 Solution: Use legally sound, customizable templates. With Go Legal AI, you can access 5,000+ templates for contracts, agreements, and more—all tailored to your business needs.

3. Overpaying for Legal Advice

Hiring a traditional lawyer for simple tasks like contract reviews can cost you hundreds (if not thousands) of pounds.

💡 Solution: Use AI-powered tools to review documents, identify risks, and customize contracts—all at a fraction of the cost. Need extra support? Book live lawyer guidance starting at £15.
