A Facilitator's Journey: Real Life Stories Episode 41: Navigating the Legal Side of Business with Lucy Wheeler
In this episode, we dive into all things legal - what it is we need in our businesses as solopreneurs, through to partnerships or big entities. Trust me when I recommend you get the legal side of your business in order early on.
My guest is Lucy Wheeler, also known as Lucy Legal. She is a lawyer who shares legal information and tips through her social media accounts and has two businesses: Lucy Legal, which provides legal templates and information for small business owners, and Wheeler Wood, a law firm that offers bespoke legal advice and services.
The conversation explores what we need to have in our businesses to be legal and within the law in the UK, to protect ourselves and our customers and clients.
What I love is Lucy's approach to making legal information accessible and understandable for everyone. We discuss the importance of legal considerations for entrepreneurs and small business owners and the value of seeking legal advice to save time and ensure compliance with regulations.

A Facilitator's Journey is a podcast that looks at how you run your business as a facilitator or trainer.
You started this work because you have a passion that you want to share with organisations. However, there is the small detail that you are now running a business and this requires a whole other set of skills and knowledge.
Join me, Kirsty Lewis, Founder of School of Facilitation, as I interview trainers and facilitators about how they manage their businesses. I will explore how people run their finances, price their work, scale up, scale down, decide to retire, market themselves, manage clients, and much much more.
