2024 is the Time to Rebuild Your Pet Business

If you are like I was back in 2012, you are seeing that running your pet business with Independent Contractors is unsustainable and is keeping you from building your business the way YOU want it.

This Bridge the Gap course is for you if:

  • You are concerned about the increase of DOL audits for employee misclassification and don’t want to risk your business
  • Your vision is a pet business that offers consistent, repeatable services from your trained TEAM of professionals
  • You want more protection for your clients and intellectual property
  • You are tired of tip-toeing around the regulations and forcing the mold on what an “independent contractor” really is
 
Sound familiar? If so, sign up for the Bridge the Gap course so we can get you on the right track for 2024. Now is the time to ensure you are compliant going forward.

THIS IS:
