Author: The Two Lauras July 8, 2025 Duration: 26:11

Don’t switch off just yet! Legal stuff might not be the most fun thing in the world – but it’s certainly incredibly important. After all, no one wants to be fined or worse – sued!

In today’s episode, we’re sharing three critical ways (none of which are very complicated!) that you can protect your business legally as a freelancer. There’s a high chance you aren’t doing all three yet, so ask yourself – can you afford to give this one a miss?

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Business insurance and why it’s a must-have
  • Why you are a data processor even though you probably think you aren’t
  • Two things you need on your website to make sure you’re legally compliant
  • How you can protect yourself when working with clients or making sales to customers
