Business Legal Audit for Canadian Small Business Owners
Many owners feel there are legal risks, but can't name them. The Business Legal Audit is a flat-fee review of five main legal areas. You'll leave knowing your current risks and what to tackle next.
Why Get a Legal Audit Instead of Just Calling a Lawyer?
When you hire a lawyer by the hour to review your business, the meter starts running while they research your structure, ask you questions, and piece together what you have. You pay for their learning curve, and you often end the call with more questions than answers.
The Business Legal Audit works differently. It's a defined scope at a fixed price covers the full review, the written report, and the follow-up call. Before any work begins, you know exactly what you're paying and exactly what you're getting.
It's also not the same as Googling or asking AI about your legal situation. The five areas covered in the audit are interconnected — a gap in one often creates exposure in another — and they require someone who can read your actual documents, not just give you general information about what businesses typically need.
The Business Legal Audit is a flat-fee review of your legal foundation across the five areas that matter most, so you get a clear picture of where you stand and exactly what to fix, without paying hourly for someone to figure it out as they go.

Who This is For
The Business Legal Audit is for you if you've been running your business for a year or more and you've never had a lawyer look at the full picture. It's a good fit if you're about to bring on a partner, hire your first employee, sign a significant contract, or start investing more seriously in growing your business and you want to know what you're working with before you scale.
It's also the right starting point if you've never worked with a business lawyer before and you want a clear picture of what you actually need — without paying for things you don't.
If you're just starting out and haven't incorporated yet, the [Start Right Legal Kit] is a better fit.
