Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start?
Most people begin with a checklist from Checklistia to understand what they need at a glance, and then use the courses and templates to ensure there's no mistakes.
Can I buy just one course?
Absolutely. Pick the module(s) most relevant to your needs, or save with our All-Access Pass.
How long do I have to complete the course?
For as long as you are subscribed—work at your own pace, revisit modules anytime, and download new templates as they become available.
Can I get templates without a course?
Absolutely! Head to the Form Factory for downloads.
Do I need any prior legal experience?
No legal background required. We start at square one and build up to advanced topics with clear, jargon-free guidance. B
What software or accounts do I need?
Just a standard office suite (Word/Excel/PDF) and internet access. No specialized apps required.
Do you answer questions about the forms?
We can only provide information on how to fill out the forms and basic product information. We cannot provide legal advice. We are not a law firm and we are not your attorney.
Will this take the place of a lawyer?
No. We are not a law firm nor do we provide legal advice. We suggest you retain a lawyer if you want expert legal advice tailored to your specific situation. But if you want basic education and tools to maximize your budget you can start here. You can always get a lawyer if you need one for complex situations or you run out of time.
If I want someone to make sure I'm doing this right who can I hire to do that?
If you follow the ShowbizWise System you'll be in good shape. But if you want experts to double-check your work ShowbizWise's parent company, Showbiz Consultants, is here to help. Showbiz Consultants is a business affairs consulting company that can review your documents. But it is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and will not take the place of your own attorney.
