In this informative episode, I’m talking to Shahrina Ankhi-Krol, an attorney specializing in the pet industry. She talks about common legal mistakes pet business owners make and why it’s so important to legally protect you and your business.
Having the correct business entity and insurance set up tells the world that you care about what you’re doing. It also shows that you care about the customers that you’re serving.
In addition to her legal career, Shahrina is creating an app to help small business owners network. Where did she get this idea? After attending hundreds of networking events including pet expos, Shahrina had a business lunch gone-wrong that inspired her to create a location-based networking app. She told me all about how the app works and we both share some in-person networking advice.
