We explore the top 3 things every small business needs to consider from a legal perspective. Plus, why we need to frolic and glitter like Rational Unicorns.

Summary: Rational Unicorn

One of the biggest things that prevent a small business from seeking legal advice is the costs. How much do I need to pay up-front? What are the up-charges? Do I need to pay for a phone call?

These are the sorts of questions that cause many entrepreneurs, creatives, startups, and solopreneurs to ‘go it alone’ when it comes to getting the legal services they need to start (and run) a business.

Portland, OR, attorney Michael Jonas is different. He works on a project basis. During this week’s podcast, we explore the top 3 things every small business needs to consider from a legal perspective, what it means to be a value and benefit-based business, and what it means to be a Rational Unicorn (and why we all need to be one).

Words of Wisdom

My goal is to be a rational unicorn. Before I frolic and glitter and sparkle and dream, I have to be logical. — Michael Jonas, Attorney
