As a business owner looking to grow, there may have been times when you’ve been strapped for the cash you need to scale your business. (Now, perhaps?) Instead of turning to traditional methods of loans or angel investors, you might be thinking of going to the Bank of Mom and Dad, or another person with whom you have a close, open relationship. Mixing a relationship with cold, hard cash can be a recipe for disaster. In my interview as an expert on Fox News, I identify the few simple steps you can take to ensure this is a successful business transaction, where expectations are made and met … and everyone ends up happy – no bad blood here! In just under 3 minutes, you will learn: – The hidden reasons parents don’t tell their kids about why they’re lending the money – Why you should always outline expectations (yes, in writing!) and never assume – If you’re the one asked, exactly what to say if you don’t want to lend the money at all Nina…

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.
And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.
I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
