Ep.39 Aspects of Business Legalese - Know the legal side of your business

Change Conversations with Mpume

In today’s episode, I have a chat with Zama Mkosi, a Business and Media Lawyer who also owns her own businesses. Her passion lies in protecting and growing businesses and media brands. Over her 20 years as a legal practitioner, she has held positions that include COO, CEO, and Financier among other roles. She owns businesses within and outside the media and entertainment industry. She has varied experience which she acquired over the 20 years having had stages in her life where she left the comfort of a corporate job to pursue her own passions.

In our conversation today, I have an enlightening chat where we discuss a range of legal requirements for businesses, whether it’s an existing business, new business, or start-up. She advises that as business owners, whether you are a hairstylist, or freelancer, you need to have some basic understanding of your business -you need to have a working knowledge of your business and the legal issues that affect your business. Have terms and conditions of how you run your business, that include; when you expect people to pay you, when do you deliver, what happens to people when they default on the terms and conditions? Zama stresses the importance of writing things down, no matter how small it is and keep record of your agreements, clearly stating responsibilities of parties involved, these parties can also include suppliers, customers and staff.
