Three Foundational Workshops. Two Bonus Workshops.
Twelve Months to Strengthen Your Business.
The legal and structural foundations of a service-based business โ taxes, contracts, and structure โ explained so you can actually understand, decide, and act.
You already know these things matter.
- Your taxes.
- Your contracts.
- Your business structure.
The hard part isn't knowing that these things matter. It's finding the time, clarity, and confidence to actually deal with them.
That's where the Business Essentials Workshop Package comes in.
You'll get access to three focused Second Saturday workshops covering the most important legal and structural foundations of a service-based business โ and twelve months from the date of purchase to use them.
You don't have to wait for the next live workshop to get started. If the next live workshop is more than two months away from your purchase date, you'll receive access to the recording from the previous run โ so you can start reviewing the material right away, then join us live to ask questions when the workshop comes around again.
Three Foundational Workshops
Held annually as part of the Second Saturday Workshop Series โ foundational legal ground, made practical.
Tax Time, Peace of Mind
Tax season can bring a lot of questions. What income needs to be reported? Which expenses are deductible? What records should you keep? Are you taking advantage of legitimate tax-saving opportunities?
Tax Time, Peace of Mind helps you understand the legal and practical foundations of business taxation so you can approach tax season with greater clarity and less stress โ enough to make informed decisions and work effectively with the professionals who support you.
Let's Write Your Contract Together
Your client agreement is more than protection if something goes wrong โ a well-designed agreement creates clarity about your relationship with clients from the very beginning.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create or strengthen a client contract, agreement, or informed consent document in clear language that reflects your business, your values, and the way you actually work โ with guidance, practical examples, and resources throughout.
Structure Your Business for Stress-Free Growth
Your business structure creates the foundation underneath everything else you're building. We'll explore business entities, liability protection, tax considerations, financial tracking, compliance, and the practical steps involved in properly using the structure you choose.
You'll also receive practical templates and spreadsheets to help you put the information into practice โ beyond simply picking an LLC and checking a box.
Two Bonus Workshops
When you purchase the Business Essentials Workshop Package, these come included.

Live Q&A and opportunities to ask questions
Meet Ian Foster, Esq.
I've spent 26 years practicing law, including 18 years as a government white-collar prosecutor handling complex civil business and tax matters. Today, I work with coaches, healers, therapists, energy workers, and other mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that are legally sound, ethically grounded, and sustainable in practice.
One thing my years of legal practice have taught me: having good legal information isn't enough. You need to be able to understand it, make decisions about it, and actually use it. That's why our workshops are designed around four things โ
You bring your questions, your business, and whatever you've been trying to figure out. We'll work through it together.
