While the atmosphere was, as usual, very friendly and supportive,
this month’s networking evening was very much about serious
matters. Our expert panel provided a range of sound advice about
securing our businesses from a legal, insurance and finance point
of view.
Sarina Cowle looked at the relative merits of different business
structures, and gave us some simple strategies to minimise risk.
Bendigo Bank’s Ray Tonnison’s advised on dealing with
banks and securing a line of credit, and Duncan Howarth outlined
some of the insurance products of particular relevance to home-based
business. A delicious supper and great networking followed the lively
question time.

Even, highly experienced home-based operators like Peter Feeney
were able to learn lessons they weren't aware of. Issues like, how
Professional Indemnity Insurance is different from all other policies
and the significant ramifications of renewing it a day late.
Others learnt how not all Bendigo banks are community banks and
what that difference means. Or how about the growing importance
and significance of specialisation in the fields of law and what
"branding" of lawyers means to you when seeking advice.
