FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which plan is right for me?
That's the beauty of the structure we've created, there is no need to worry about which one is right for you. Your first point of entry is Phase 1. We assess your needs and re-evaluate those needs throughout the life of your membership, so that you are never paying more than you need to. These plans are designed to follow the overall life-cycle of a business and keep you moving from one tier to the next, as your business grows!
What if I choose the wrong plan?
No need to worry about that. If you feel like you switched prematurely, we can probably accomodate that request. We'll re-assess the game plan to suit a time line works for you, and re-work your it to fit your plan.
Can I work with you without a plan?
Absolutely! You do not have to be a Member in order to use our services. However, we've found that entrepreneurs in our plan gain immediate peace of mind simply by having us available to them every month, proactively planning for their business.
Are the included "Lawyer Letters" Just for my business to use?
No! We understand things don't happen in a vacuum, especially for entrepreneurs! These letters can be used for any person covered under your plan, for any legal reason. Some real estate clients use these for the purpose of eviction notices, others use these for the purpose of sending demand letters before a lawsuit begins, or responding to a demand letter they received.
Does my plan require a term commitment?
Yes, we do ask for an initial one-year commitment, in order to gain the most benefit from the program. However, with regular assessments, you are never stuck with a higher plan than is necessary for your goals.
Who is covered under my GC Plan?
These plans are created to achieve certain goals, not provided specific documents. The primary objective behind this program is to encourage open and frequent communication with your lawyer. That way, we can make sure to address any potential issues, BEFORE they become real. However, these plans DO NOT cover any litigation matters.
