A customer just refused to pay an invoice. Before you escalate, get your paper trail in order.

Unpaid invoices are harder to sort out when nobody can find the contract, the amounts, or the last message.

- Review the contract and payment terms.
- Confirm the amount owed.
- Check what notices were sent.
- Save every invoice and message.
- Weigh your options before anything escalates.

Send this to whoever sends invoices at your company.

The page you skim before signing a loan might be the one with your name on it.

If the business can't pay, the other side may look to you personally.

A personal guarantee can sit behind a loan, a lease or a line of credit. The wording decides how far it reaches, so the answers are in the document, not in the conversation around it.

If you can't find one of the five on the graphic, ask before you sign, not after.

Major business decisions should not live only in someone's memory.

Ownership changes. Big contracts. Ending a relationship. A year later, everyone remembers it a little differently.

A written record can help show what happened and why: who agreed, when, and what was decided. Writing it down now is usually faster than piecing it together later.

Send this to the partner who says "we agreed on a handshake."

"If my business is an LLC or corporation, I can never be personally liable.”

Not quite.

Forming a business entity can provide liability protection. It does not eliminate every situation where an owner may face personal exposure.

Personal guarantees, individual conduct and other circumstances can create potential personal liability.

Owners should understand both the protections and the limits of their business structure.

Send this to the business partner who thinks the entity covers everything.

If a dispute hit your business tomorrow, could you find your contracts, employee records and payment records?

The scramble to track down a document usually starts on the worst possible day.

Quick gut check: where do signed contracts live, who can pull an employee file, and are important emails and texts saved somewhere besides one person's inbox?

Send this to the person who keeps your files in order and ask them to show you where everything lives.

Every business disagreement hits a fork in the road: talk about it now, or wait and see.

One road is usually shorter, cheaper, and a lot less stressful. The other tends to wind on for a long time.

Neither one feels dramatic on day one. Talking early can feel awkward. Waiting feels easy.

If you run a business, you have probably seen owners take both roads.

Which one have you seen more of? Tell us in the comments.

Ignoring a lawsuit will not make it go away, and waiting only shrinks your options.

The days right after you are served are when small, fixable things turn into big ones. A deadline nobody wrote down, or a folder someone cleaned out to tidy up, can make an ordinary lawsuit much harder.

Five steps to take first. Most of them cost nothing but attention.

Send this to whoever opens the mail at your company, so they know the plan before the day they need it.

The best time to prevent a business dispute is before it starts.

Once a disagreement turns into a dispute, it usually takes far more time and money to untangle.

Most of what prevents one is unglamorous: writing things down, keeping records where you can find them, and dealing with small problems while they are still small.

Send this to your business partner and go through the list together.

Someone just handed you their resignation. Seven things need handling before their last day.

A separation handled in a hurry tends to cause problems later, when they are harder and more expensive to fix.

1. Final pay
2. Accrued vacation
3. Company property: laptops, keys, badges
4. System access: email, drives, accounts
5. Confidential business information
6. Benefits
7. Documentation: the resignation, final pay, returned items

Save this for the next time someone gives notice.
