Case Study: How We Saved a Client $24,000 in Just One Strategy Session
The Original Idea
Rachel came to us planning to launch eco-retreats. Her model? Collect all payments from customers directly, then pay suppliers. This structure made her legally liable for every aspect of the retreat – accommodation, food, activities, and insurance. She’d need a trust account, specific licenses, and comprehensive insurance. Estimated setup cost: $24,000+.
Our Solution
We restructured her business model. Instead of handling payments, her platform connects customers directly with retreat hosts. She takes a service fee, and hosts handle their own bookings. No trust account and guarantee required (saved $13,000), minimal insurance needs (saved $4,000+/year), no travel agent licensing (saved $3,000), simplified compliance (saved $4,000 in setup). Plus, she can expand by onboarding hosts globally.
Vanessa was EXCEPTIONAL! I needed legal advice setting up my business and I felt at ease with her straight away on the phone. I found her to be very knowledgeable, giving me tips on things I had not even considered when growing my business. The main thing for me in looking for a lawyer was someone that was personable and approachable and knew the right questions to ask so to be able to help. Highly recommend and plan on engaging Vanessa's services again!
When we decided to sell Flying Solo, I sought a lawyer who would take the time to guide and steer us. We have loved our business for over a dozen years and wanted the sale process to be as enjoyable and satisfying as the entire journey. Legal123 gave us everything we were looking for and more. I felt confident in the competent hands of true professionals. A surprisingly wonderful close to a wonderful chapter of business life.
Wow, this is GOLD. Thanks so much for this service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this service perfect for?
Australian online business owners who need proper online business legal compliance but aren’t sure where to start. Business owners who are expanding their business and want to ensure they have the appropriate business structure, compliance and best practice, as well as updated legal terms for both asset and business protection.
We work with coaches, consultants, course creators, SaaS founders, e-commerce stores, and digital service providers – whether you’re pre-launch or in your first 2 years. If you’re making (or planning to make) $50k+ annually, this service will pay for itself many times over.
How is this different from downloadable templates?
Legal templates are a great, inexpensive way to start a basic business. However, if your business model is unique, complex, growing, or involves higher liability, you need proper online business legal compliance to protect you and your business.
This service is designed for business owners who require customised legal solutions. We don’t just modify generic documents; we craft agreements specifically for your business model, pricing structure, and service delivery.
Our experienced lawyers also help you restructure your business approach to minimise risk and maximise growth potential – something no template can provide.
What if I’ve already launched my business?
Perfect timing, actually. Many clients come to us after launching when they realise their online business legal compliance needs work, or they have a business or client issue. The sooner we address any issues, the less expensive it will be.
We’ll audit what you have, keep what works, and fix what doesn’t. We can also assist you with best practices and compliance initiatives, as well as provide checklists to simplify your business practices.
Can’t I just use ChatGPT for contracts?
You could also use YouTube to learn brain surgery. AI can’t understand your specific business context, can’t ensure compliance with Australian law, and definitely can’t provide the comprehensive online business legal compliance you need to operate safely. When the ACCC or a client comes knocking, “ChatGPT wrote it” isn’t a legal defence.
Why not use a traditional law firm instead?
We are a law firm! And we are specialists. Traditional lawyers charge $500-800 per hour and often lack the online business legal experience we have. We specialise in the unique needs of online businesses and care about your growth, not our hourly rate.
What’s included in the online business legal compliance?
Everything you need to operate legally and confidently: custom contracts, optimised business structure, IP protection, compliance systems, and strategic legal guidance.
All are built specifically for your unique business model within 90 days.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Both startup and established growing businesses. We’re online business lawyers and specialise in a wide variety of Australian businesses – coaches, consultants, course creators, membership sites, SaaS companies, e-commerce stores, digital agencies, and online service providers.
If your business operates primarily online or you want to offer your services online, and serves Australian customers (or is based in Australia), we’re the right fit for you.
We’ve perfected the online business legal compliance process, working with over 200 clients and helping our existing customers grow their businesses to ensure they understand what is required to do so.
Is this really just 3 months?
Yes, we can conduct a comprehensive legal business health check to ensure you are ready for the next phase of your business, or we can complete your entire online business legal compliance within 3 months – enough time to establish a complete legal foundation.
After that, many clients continue with us for ongoing support. You’ll have everything you need to operate confidently, and know we are available for any questions you may have with your business in the future.
What if I need help after the engagement ends?
You get 30 days of priority email support after the engagement ends. And we will always be here in the future, as your business lawyers!
How much time do I need to commit each month?
Just the 45 to 60-minute monthly call, availability to respond to correspondence, plus maybe 30 to 60 minutes reviewing documents each month. We do the heavy lifting. Most clients spend 4-6 hours total – a tiny investment to protect everything you’ve built.
