That vendor contract you signed last year. That LLC you formed and never revisited. That person you have been paying as a contractor for two years.

There are five gaps that tend to show up most often for Gulf Coast business owners, and they rarely surface until something goes wrong: an operating agreement that does not reflect the real deal; contracts that were never built for your business; an LLC that is not actually holding up; employment practices one misstep away from a penalty; and no one in the room before problems land.

One gap. One bad outcome. One expensive lesson.
