Protecting Value in Your Direct Selling Business

Rohan Harris and Jacqueline Vuong

As your business grows, so do the risks. Scaling isn’t just about expansion. It’s about safeguarding the pillars that make your business thrive. Growth demands more than ambition, it requires protection.

In this video, Principal Rohan Harris and Associate Jacqueline Vuong dive into the must-know strategies to protect your business as it scales. We’ll focus on what are typically any business’ most important assets:

  • Your people
  • Your products
  • And your brand or intellectual property

The key takeaways to help protect your growing business are: 

  • Make sure your key agreements are suitably documented
  • Understand consumer laws that apply to your business, familiarize yourself with the product safety standards relevant to your products and have an action plan for when things go wrong. Robust policies and procedures help mitigate damage to your business and reputation
  • Regularly Review and Protect Your IP. This includes registering and maintaining IP rights and ensuring confidentiality through NDAs and other legal measures.
