This guide is filled to the brim with the top tips that Kelly and Kristin learned over 20 combined years of practice, distilled into about 26 information-packed pages.

The guide will walk you through 15 key steps to get your business in tip top legal shape, including information on how to form an LLC, mitigate your risk, put contracts in place, protect your website and intellectual property, and much more.
This guide does not offer legal advice, but it does offer specific and actionable legal information!
While legal is our passion and expertise, we know it’s probably not yours.
That’s why we created Dotted Lines… to be a professional, trustworthy, and cost-efficient resource for you to get legally protected in a way that makes it as easy as on you as just signing on the dotted line.
Unlike your typical stuffy and expensive law firm that could easily be charging hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars per hour of work, we provide attorney-drafted templates for you to use at a fraction of the price. Plus, we are entrepreneurs ourselves, so we understand many of the unique challenges that online entrepreneurs face, in particular in the health and wellness space, and our templates have been drafted to address those unique situations.
Trustworthy and Cost Efficient
We formed Dotted Lines because we realized that entrepreneurs needed an accessible, professional, and trustworthy way to legally protect themselves at an affordable price point.
We know first-hand that lawyers are expensive and that hiring a lawyer can be out of reach with a start-up budget. We also know that often times you may not know a lawyer to call who has the right expertise, and there can be frustration about not knowing who to contact for help even if you have the budget for it. This can lead to fear of growing your business, working with clients, and pursuing your passions!
Our legal templates were drafted specifically for online entrepreneurs like yourself by two accomplished attorneys with over 20 years of combined experience. They were also drafted by two attorneys who understand the online entrepreneur space and who have a particular passion and interest in helping coaches in the health and wellness space. One of our founders currently owns and operates a nutrition practice herself and wanted to empower others to be able to go after the career they love just like she did!

Protect your Assets and your Livelihood
What if your business gets sued? Your entire life savings could be at risk… unless you take the steps to get a separate business entity.

The simple step of making your business legally legitimate and forming an entity for your business could save you millions of dollars in personal exposure if you were ever to face a lawsuit against your business. Once you have a business entity set up, it can shield your personal assets from the liabilities of your business.
We teach you more about that here, and if you decide to take the step to form a single-member limited liability company with a state, we have you covered with the operating agreement template you will need to put in place to make your entity legally valid.
Mitigate Your Risks of Liability
Did you know you can put contractual limits on how much one of your clients can sue you for in damages?
Without a well-drafted contract, you aren’t going to have those limits in place, and your risk is essentially unlimited. Courts have discretion on the damages that are awarded, and oftentimes, those awards can include attorney’s fees incurred in the litigation by the party suing you – let us tell you, the mere fact of having to reimburse those attorney’s fees alone can add up quickly.
Our contract templates were built to protect entrepreneurs from this risk. They have limits of liability built into them, so the damages that an unsatisfied client or customer can seek from you are limited to a specific and tolerable amount. Let these contract templates help you rest easier at night knowing that the liability you incur through your service contracts is capped to an amount that makes sense for your business and customers.
Get paid
BY YOUR CUSTOMERS
- Do you have issues collecting timely payments from your customers?
- Do you hate confrontation?
- Have you ever tried to collect an amount due from someone legally without having a strong contractual leg to stand on?
Good luck because it may not go well.

Our contract templates make the terms upon which your customers or clients need to pay you crystal clear.
This language can facilitate conversations with your customers so that you can point to the clear contract language they agreed to so you can remind them what they owe you. Once they are reminded about the contract language, it becomes a lot harder for them to argue with you about it.
If they still don’t pay you, the contract is going to give you a much easier mechanism to enforce your rights against that client. You can always bring them to court for breach of non-payment, or the contract will allow you to send them to collections for a collection agency to try to collect from them. Either way, you are in a much better position to collect against them than if you didn’t have the contract on your side.
Our contract templates were built with these solutions in mind, and they are going to put you in a great position to make sure you get paid accurately and timely from your customers.

Avoid Copycats
Let’s face it. The bigger your business grows, the more likely it is that someone is going to try to steal your intellectual property… whether by sharing content with non-paying friends, family or co-workers or even worse yet, stealing it to try and sell it as their own.
We understand that it can be terrifying to think of someone else coming in and stealing your livelihood and passions out from under you that you worked so hard to create.
Our legal templates contain language that will make your intellectual property rights clear, put strict restrictions around use, and provide you an avenue to enforce your intellectual property rights against those who do not adhere to those restrictions.
Look
Professional
They say “first impressions are everything”, and we believe that to be absolutely true. Often times, your contract is going to be one of the first interactions that your customer has with you or your business. Our legal templates will allow you to make sure that your contracts represent the first-class quality of the services or products that you render in your own business. Don’t be embarrassed by some form you pulled for free online or “Frankensteined” together from contracts you were provided by friends. Instead, provide your clients with a contract form that is professional and that you can be proud of and confident in.
Let your business scale and grow without fear.

Sometimes we see entrepreneurs hold back from reaching their full potential because somewhere, subconsciously, they lack the confidence needed to scale and grow their business. They may know that naturally, as the business grows, the risk of something going wrong or getting sued grows too. Ultimately, this fear (whether conscious or not) scares them and holds them back from achieving their full potential.
That’s where Dotted Lines comes in. The resources we provide help you get your business in compliance, mitigate risk, protect your assets, get legally confident and grow your business into abundance without fear.
This is our number one goal at Dotted Lines. We want you to feel confident so that you can pursue your passions without fear or reservation, achieve your dreams, and help others along the way.
