Danielle McDonald, www.DanielleMcDonald.com“It’s incredible value for money. Every small business owner should have it! It’s so great to have everything in one place and to have templates that you can easily implement straight away.”
Anna Mellon, Boppin Bunnies
“The SBLA programme has been invaluable! It’s helped me to be more organised and take stock of my business. I’ve also gained more confidence as it’s showed me immediately what steps I needed to take next.”
Karen Williams, Self Discovery Coaching
“I’m loving the SBLA programme, so much valuable information that I know will save me time and money in my business.”
Caroline Ferguson, Mind coach
“The SBLA is outstanding both in terms of the quality of the content and the fantastic value if represents. It’s been so useful in helping me to grow my business safely. I heartily recommend it to other entrepreneurs as a really brilliant investment.”
Hayley Crawshaw, Celtic Compliance
“We all know that Suzanne is a fantastic lawyer so it's great that she has put this accessible, affordable programme together. I would definitely recommend the Small Business Legal Academy to other small business owners. No one else is doing anything remotely as good as this – other sites sell templates but they are, in my experience, really poor quality. Suzanne’s templates are easy to use and are written in plain English which sets them head and shoulders above other template sites.”
Sherry Bevan, Sherry Bevan Consulting Ltd
“I think it’s great; it’s really helpful. It’s covered everything I need and lots more as well. I like the fact I can dip into it every now and again when I need certain documents. There’s a good amount of content too, it’s really comprehensive. I recommend it to all my friends who I know are setting up new businesses.”
Sam Willoughby, What’s on 4
“We've worked with Suzanne for many years so needed no convincing to be part of the SBLA programme as we knew it would be of the highest quality. But Suzanne has excelled herself this time with a comprehensive and easy to follow package that is equally as relevant to start ups as it is to established businesses. We have already used a number of the documents provided and they have been the kick to ensure that we are doing all we can to protect ourselves. Best of all, it wasn't hard or time consuming to implement as the templates, check lists and processes are simply to use. Suzanne's calm, reassuring presenting style is a pleasure to watch in the videos and they are full of very practical and relevant actions to take. Thank you Suzanne for once again helping us at What's On 4.”
“The SBLA is just as essential as getting other valuable pieces of equipment for your business, such as computers. Many small business owners, especially start-ups, will cut corners to save money. This programme will help prevent them from being hit by a massive bill.”
Cheryl Smith, Great Holiday Locations
“I think we are really privileged to have this legal library on tap and although I haven’t used everything it is really good to know that when I need it, I can have a look and easily implement the templates or the checklists. The template documents were very easy to find, download and complete. I found the checklists very useful, particularly the freelance checklist and the freelance status checklist. The programme is excellent value and I feel really fortunate to have found the Small Business Legal Academy. I would definitely recommend the programme to other small business owners. I haven’t seen anything else like this out there – Suzanne has an excellent idea and is onto something good for sure…”
Maxine Harley ‘The Ripple Effect' Process
“I think the Small Business Legal Academy is great and I'm so grateful that it has been created. I've got so much more than I expected from it, and it's paid for itself many times over already. I've been happily recommending the SBLA to other small business owners.”
Nadine Peatfield, Lots For Tots
“The Small Business Legal Academy would have saved me a lot of money & heartache if it had been available 5 years ago when I started up. Thanks to it being so easily accessible and affordable, I am now finally able to put all the legal procedures, protection & documents that I need in place. I feel so much more secure, knowing that as my business grows I am protected, I can filter what I have learnt through my company and I have access to a wide range of legal documents in the future.”
David Bennett, Pelican Cards
“I wanted somewhere to go where someone has up-to-date legal training and who will fight my corner. And I found that with Suzanne and the Small Business Legal Academy. The programme is well researched and has everything I want. It gives me the reassurance I need, knowing that everything is there and that it will continue to be kept up to date.”
Paul Hollins, Blue Revolution
“The best part of the Small Business Legal Academy is that it covers everything in one package. And, it’s completely credible – Suzanne has achieved great things in her career, so you know you’re covered by someone who is qualified and reputable.”
Amanda Ruiz, Your Local PR
“There is masses of amazing content. As I have been trading for a while and have a good idea of what I need, it is so useful to be able to dip in and out of content and use what I want, when I want. This programme is absolutely essential for small business owners and the best thing is that it is so easy to use. The webinars are professional, very compelling and make you want to take action to protect your business. The Small Business Legal Academy is amazing value for money – it’s a no-brainer. The fact that Suzanne has such an excellent reputation means that I know that the programme is ‘major’ outstanding value. I am already recommending the Small Business Legal Academy to all of my business contacts.”
Katharine Buckley, Poppy KB co-founder
“What really stands out about this programme is the mix of content and how passionate Suzanne is about holistically protecting and growing our businesses. Rather than just putting out template documents without any supporting materials, Suzanne has designed a programme that also includes helpful video guides, checklists, action plans – all created to educate and guide small business owners through the most common legal issues that will affect their businesses and to help us put legal documents in place to properly protect and grow our businesses. The video guides have been so helpful and are really added value – for example the 10 minute guides on dealing with suppliers and negotiating were invaluable. Nobody else is offering this added value as far as I'm aware. It's what makes the programme so great. We have access to template legal documents through a package offered by our bank but what I really like about Suzanne’s templates is that they are so clear, simple and easy to use. I highly recommend the Small Business Legal Academy.”
Dawn Sarton, My Choose PA
“I think the Small Business Legal Academy is brilliant; it is so incredibly useful for small business owners. There is so much information in there that I didn’t even know that I needed to know, yet the programme is so easy to follow by working through the weekly modules. The Start Up Checklist was hugely valuable for my me as a start-up just about to launch my business and has really focused me in on what I need to know. The videos are very personal and provide some really useful guidance. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would most definitely recommend the Small Business Legal Academy to other small business owners.”
Grace Marshall, Grace-Marshall.com
“I have found the Small Business Legal Academy really comprehensive. There is a lot of depth and detail – it covers everything I could possibly need and more! The biggest advantage is that it gives me peace of mind, knowing that all the documents are there, as and when I need them.”
Helen Potter, WebMuggle
“The Small Business Legal Academy is very accessible. I’ve been able to dip in and out of content as I’ve needed it – which is perfect for me – and I was surprised by how much content is available. I’ve been able to use everything, including legal documents for freelancers and web designers.”
Marion Medley, Pirina Ltd
“The Small Business Legal Academy provides a fount of ‘should know’ legal knowledge for the non-legal trained business owner. Engaging in this course has opened my eyes to all the legalities a small business owner needs to consider – and to implement – with helpful step-by-step guides and resource materials to put all the necessary protections in place – not to mention the useful and enlightening video guides, which are presented in down-to-earth language, and with a non-too sombre approach. The course is presented in a clear, concise, comprehensive and constructive manner and for the content it delivers, represents excellent value for money; I would definitely recommend it to others.”
Wendrie Heywood, Mindful Business Services
“I am pleased with my experiences of the Small Business Legal Academy. As an experienced business owner, I am familiar with some of the business structure tips and legal issues. However, I still found the content tremendously useful – especially the documents relating to website compliance, trademark protection and working with freelancers.”
Wendy Chamier, Sesame Internet Marketing
“The Small Business Legal Academy is a total ‘no-brainer’. It’s fantastic value for money and gives you peace of mind knowing that everything is there. Suzanne is just great – she is easy to understand and uses ‘proper normal language’.”
Debi Richens, Fitelle Ltd
“The SBLA is just wonderful. It’s so comforting and settling to know that we have all the right protections in place. It was fantastic to have immediate access to the documents that we knew that we needed, such as the freelance agreement, but the weekly programme with case studies, checklists and video guides has been superb for consolidating our legal awareness and guiding us to take the steps that we needed to take. The checklists are so incredibly useful, clear and precise and it is so reassuring to know that we aren't missing anything and everything has been covered. The template documents are 100% easy to download and complete and I understood all of the wording – they are so user friendly. The video guides are excellent – very clear and easy to go back and find the relevant sections you need and are a real confidence booster as I now know for sure I am not making any daft mistakes. The sections on branding and trademarking are absolutely essential for small businesses – if you don’t get that right, the impact on your business is tremendous. The Facebook group is of huge value to me because it is so good to follow the other issues that are affecting other small business owners and see the replies and learn from their experience. The webinars are excellent too – there is so much to learn from them but Suzanne breaks it down into really easy to implement steps. The value of the SBLA is outstanding – I would have had to pay so much more than the cost of the programme for just one document if I had gone elsewhere. When you are a small business owner, every penny counts so having all of this content available to me at such a low price is a godsend. I recommend the SBLA programme to all of my small business contacts – I am so happy to say that I have gained so much from this programme and it is such a valuable tool that every small business owner should have it. Suzanne is so completely genuine and not out for herself – and that in business is very refreshing!”
