BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER,
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHO THIS IS REALLY FOR...

You're an ambitious, business-minded person, but feel like the law is a mysterious beast and you're wearing so many hats that if unexpected legal issues arose you'd have no idea what to do. You've worked so hard to get your business to where it is - that's why you know you've got a lot to protect, you need to get it right and feel motivated to make sure your business is prepared for the long haul.  

Whether you are:

  • A beginner (Start Up) who's just set up (or wants to set up) a business and provide products or services. You've googled legal templates and avoided hiring a lawyer - because hello expensive! You've found some vague advice online but know that understanding how the law applies to your exact business will create a necessary rock solid foundation for success.
  • An established business owner (Scale Up) who feels unsure if your patched together DIYd efforts to date actually protect you and unprepared if you hit a legal hazard. You want to be able to step into decisions without second-guessing or making wrong turns.
  • An entrepreneur and/or creative already running a business but question whether you're standing on solid ground and feel ready to take it up a notch and learn a set of timeless strategies so you can navigate legal issues with ease.

... YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

I'm going to tell you exactly how the Layman's Law Starter Pack will give you the tools and support on your journey to protecting the hard work you've poured into building your brilliant business.

 

By the end of this program, you will have:

  • reviewed your business structure and the legal environment it operates within 
  • created a framework for a custom set of terms and conditions and/or letter of engagement specifically for your business
  • located and researched the relevant law for your business with respect to your rights and obligations
  • learnt the key ingredients of an enforceable contract and how to record all your business agreements, ensuring they achieve your top business goals
  • learnt how to vary your agreements to ensure they remain legally enforceable
  • a business plan and front row seat to a suitable lawyer who can tailor a specific plan for your business needs, to ensure your key documents are in place, moving forward

Everyone needs a Rachel - this Rachel - in their life. I honestly do not know where I would be if our paths hadn't crossed. Considering I had been in business for over a decade without a T&C in sight, I was extremely lucky to have had a pretty non-eventful term. I instinctively trusted my clients and trades, believing each party would do the right thing. And it worked, in a fingers crossed and hope for the best way, so I continued on this path.
 
But, as life has it, an unexpected surprise was in store. It wasn't until we undertook our own renovation build on our home that we realised working on trust alone does not cut it. Dotting the I's and crossing the T's was super important.
 
What I've learned from Rachel, and her easy-to-comprehend content in her Layman's Law Course, is that being prepared and proactive in your business and life when it comes to getting your stuff in order is vital. Instead of having to navigate through a dispute again, we now have things in place to confidently move through life and business.

Interior Stylist and Artist - Featherhorse Studios

Before completing the Layman’s Law Course, my business of 8 years functioned based on the the notion of trust but as all business owners learn at some stage, things don’t always work out as planned. Discrepancies and misunderstandings can happen, but I learnt that if you have detailed documents in place, there is definitely less room for error. Terms and conditions and letters of engagement are fundamental to running any business and it was great to find out how to actually manage these properly. Acquiring new found tools and resources, I feel confident that I now have the knowledge in how to run my business even better than before. This course has given me a stronger skill set in how to manage my business. 

I highly recommend this course to any established small business or if you are a new business, you will be one step ahead if you complete this course. The content and attention to detail is so valuable. Rachel Mounsey is so eloquent & inviting in her delivery of the information that it keeps you well informed and engaged throughout the course. Rachel is also very supportive and invested in helping you with any questions that arise. It’s brilliant!

Photographer, Interior Designer, Creative Director - The Aesthete Collective
I have been running my photography and styling business for 5 years now and I can’t believe I went that long without knowing how to protect myself. I really struggled with the overall picture, especially when it came to contracts. I had no knowledge of law and what my rights and responsibilities were as a business owner. The law can be quite overwhelming and no one teaches you where to begin. With the costs of lawyers and who to choose it can be a lot. Finding relevant information for an Australian creative business owner isn’t easy. Entering into contracts was a big one for me as I tend to go off good faith at times and trust and I now know what can go wrong and how to avoid that.
 
I now feel confident and prepared moving forward thanks to the Layman’s Law Course. I have reviewed my processes and put measures in place to protect myself, my business and my clients. Rachel has made it easy, friendly, and affordable to learn the basics I needed. This course was easy to navigate, I loved that it felt like a one on one session through Rachel’s use of personable tutorial style videos. Everyone running a business needs to do this course to save themselves from potentially making costly mistakes! 

Jody D'Arcy

I’ve absolutely loved doing Layman’s Law, not because I love learning about law, but simply because when you have an artistic brain like I do, not a business brain, there are lots of things that are avoided because they seem too hard!
 
Going through the course has highlighted that the bones of a business can absolutely hang on getting everything from the very beginning in order! Layman’s Law has given me the building blocks to go back and doublecheck all I have and red flag things I need to reassess. This is really crucial and so timely, I’m looking forward to having all of this sorted now that I have these very poignant steps and tools to begin the process!
 
Made all the more understandable, especially for small business, by Rachel's “Layman’s” way of making it clear and less scary! Thank you so much Rachel, I will be recommending this to many!

I wish that I had completed a course like this before I began my wine business in 2010. Instead I’ve had to bumble through issues at great stress and at times incurring great cost. Some of the biggest issues I’ve had include difficulties registering my name with IP Australia (finally got it through after 18 months of negotiations) and separating the business from a partner as we had no formal business agreement in place.

The module information provides a solid framework – the checklists are great and provide an excellent foundation for people to explore the research required relevant to their industry/business. It is good to be reminded that I can empower myself by jumping onto the ASIC website to review exactly what my responsibilities are and the other resources too.

I’m a creative who has recently started a small business. Before I did this course I had no idea about my legal entitlements in regards to contracts, negotiations and terms of engagement.

The Layman’s Law course has helped me so much. Rachel makes law fun and really easy to understand. I loved the way the modules were broken down and delivered – it’s a great and easy way to learn vital skills without the hefty lawyer fees.

I’m so glad I signed up to do this course.

Couldn’t recommended it highly enough for anyone who is running their own business.

What an amazing course! And an absolute must for any creative venturing out on their own into small business.
 
Even as an established business of nearly 4 years, the systems and processes that Rachel explained in her course were such a refresher into what’s critical when dealing with Clients to protect yourself and your Clients.
 
Rachel really makes each module easy to understand and to follow and guides you step by step without feeling overwhelmed with legal jargon. Thank you so much Rachel for creating such a great course that is really needed in the creative industry. I’ve already reviewed processes and made changes, including updates to my terms and conditions, that were needed. Thank you!

Rana Everett

Mechanical Engineer, Managing Director - Everett Consulting NT
 
Being a start-up, I have only just begun to get in front financially, and the 3 years I've been operating my mechanical engineering consultancy, I've run by the knowledge I've gained in life and by checking against online suggestions, never knowing how complete my legal declarations were and my responsibilities.
 
Since doing Rachel's course, I have a much clearer sense of the legal aspects of my business, including what opportunities there are and my rights and obligations. Rachel supported me to engage a lawyer for the next steps, which included checking they were specific to my industry, and what areas I needed to be covering. I now have a relevant contract and thorough terms and conditions, correctly written declarations that go with my engineered component's reports, a good understanding of copyright, and also trademarking my brand has now become significant.
 
I cannot thank Rachel enough for guiding me with her course, for how easy she makes it all seem now! I highly encourage anyone in business to check the foundations of their business law knowledge by doing Rachel Mounsey's Layman's Law Course!

Liz Ralph

Online Learning Manager - Lysander Consulting

I’ve been working in small business for 11 years and the legal side of running a business has always been the biggest unknown – it was something that felt like our biggest risk and greatest black spot. Rachel’s course opened up a whole new understanding of the law and how I could build my own capacity to set up the right processes, grow sensibly and protect our most valuable assets.

It was pitched at the right level – everything was applicable and easy to follow, and the flexibility of the format works perfectly when you have limited blocks of time!  I've learnt so much and I can see how valuable it will continue to be. Thanks Rachel, you’ve changed the way I see myself as a business woman and what is possible in the future.
