New Resource for Businesses - Inc. Well

Attention all entrepreneurs and business owners!

You may be interested in the new NBC Chicago’s blog – Inc. Well – a how-to blog for Chicago’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Aside from having great articles, resources and information for the small business owner, our very own business attorney, Arieh M. Flemenbaum,  was interviewed (again) and quoted in the blog - “Why Biz Owners Should Rethink that IPO” (click the link or go to: http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/inc-well/Why-Biz-Owners-Should-Rethink-that-IPO-121521309.html.

Arieh was also quoted in the first edition of Inc. Well for a discussion about why entrepreneurs should consider incorporating their business (to obtain  liability protections and separate their business assets from their personal ones).  See the Inc. Well blog entitled, "Why You Might Want to Incorporate Your Small Biz" (click the link or go to: http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/inc-well/Should-You-Incorporate-Your-Small-Biz-119838059.html)
