Business Risk Scan
Do you know where your business is legally exposed?
When you’re running a growing business, legal risk rarely makes it to the top of the to-do list. The problem is, it tends to surface at the worst possible moment. The TLD Business Risk Scan gives you a clear picture of where your exposure sits, so you can get ahead of it.
The Business Risk Scan is a structured 27-question assessment, built around our 9-point legal framework. It maps your risks across the key areas of your business and gives you a clear, honest picture of where you’re protected, and, importantly, where you’re not.
There’s no jargon, no obligation, and no charge. Just clarity.
How it works:
The Business Risk Scan isn’t something you sit and fill in alone. We run it as a conversation: a free 30 to 45-minute call with one of TLD’s experienced Client Legal Directors, who will walk you through 27 questions across nine critical areas of your business.
That conversation matters. Context is everything when it comes to legal risk, and our GCs are skilled at spotting the things a self-assessment tool would miss.
Get in touch and we’ll arrange a convenient time. The call is completely free, with no strings attached.
One of our GCs will guide you through the scan questions, exploring what’s in place across your business and where there may be gaps.
After the call, you’ll receive a written Business Risk Scan report with your scores across each area, along with clear commentary on what each result means for your business.
The report is yours to keep. If there are areas that need attention, we’ll talk you through your options, whether that’s a quick fix or longer-term support. There’s no pressure and no hard sell.
What the scan covers
The Business Risk Scan is built around TLD’s 9-point legal framework, the same framework our GCs use when they work with growing businesses every day. It covers:
Are your contracts, structures and investor protections keeping pace with your ambitions?
Do you know what you own, and is it properly protected?
If the time came to sell, would your business be ready?
Are your employment contracts, policies and HR practices doing their job?
Are your commercial agreements working for you or leaving you exposed?
Do you have a clear handle on your leasehold obligations and rights?
Are your processes and contracts consistent, compliant and fit for purpose?
Is your governance keeping up with your growth?
Do you have the right level of legal support in place for where you are now?
What you get at the end
At the end of your call, we’ll produce a personalised Business Risk Scan report showing how your business scores across each of the nine areas. Each section includes a rating, a plain-English summary of what it means, and a steer on where to focus your attention.
It’s the kind of clear-headed overview that most business leaders have never had and it takes less than an hour to get it.
Who is it for?
The Business Risk Scan is designed for business leaders at growing SMEs who don’t have an in-house legal team. If you’re a founder, CEO or MD who knows legal matters but isn’t sure whether your business is properly covered, this is for you.
It’s particularly useful if you’re:
- Scaling quickly and aware that your legal foundations need to keep up
- Preparing for investment, a new contract, or a significant hire
- Unsure whether your contracts, policies and processes are actually fit for purpose
- Thinking about exit, even if it’s a few years away
- Simply curious about where the gaps might be before they become problems
