You didn’t start your business because you love contracts, copyright, or compliance. 
You started it because you wanted to: 
 
You started it because you wanted to: 

✓ Do the work you actually love

✓ Get paid (properly) for your skills

✓ Build freedom on your own terms.

But here’s the kicker: without the right legal foundations, one sticky client, one sneaky competitor, or one dispute can unravel everything you’ve built. 

90% of the time, when business owners think “legal,” here’s what actually happens: 

✓ You download a “free contract” template, but it gathers digital dust because you don’t know if it’s even legit.

✓ You grab a domain and think your business name is safe, but someone else could still trademark it.

✓ You’ve got NDAs, refund policies, and “terms” scattered across PDFs, DMs, and sticky notes, but none of it truly protects you.

✓ You’re crossing your fingers at every client project handover, wondering if you just gave away your IP without realising it. 

✓ And while juggling all this, you’ve got a million tabs open (on your browser and in your brain)… because legal is the one thing you keep pushing down the to-do list.

The problem? Without those foundations, you’re building your business on shaky ground.  

Perfect. Because this isn’t just another workshop. 

I’ve designed 5 Steps to Grow Your Online Business the Legally Legit Way to cut through the fluff so you’re not just walking away with more information (and another notebook full of “someday” to-dos). 

Instead, you’ll leave with: 

✓ A clear 5-step framework tailored for online businesses.

✓ Practical tools + a workbook you can implement straight away.

✓ A system you can come back to again and again as your business grows. 

Because the goal isn’t to overwhelm you with legal jargon. 

The goal is to make you legally legit, simply, quickly, and confidently.  

Hi, I’m Riz McDonald. 

For over 20 years, I’ve been a commercial lawyer. But my mission? Helping creatives, service providers, and online business owners like you avoid messy, expensive legal drama. 

Back in 2019, I founded Foundd Legal because I was sick of seeing passionate entrepreneurs lose money, IP, and peace of mind, simply because they didn’t know what they didn’t know. 

Since then, I’ve helped thousands of business owners: 

 Protect their intellectual property 

 Build contracts that actually work 

 Avoid legal drama (before it starts)

 Grow with confidence

And now I’ve distilled the 5 most important steps every creative business needs into one powerful, practical workshop + workbook bundle. 

The most common DMs, emails, and voice notes I get from extraordinary humans like you sound a little like this: 

💭 “I know I should have a proper contract… but where do I even start?” 

💭 “I just found out someone’s using my business name, can they actually do that?” 

💭 “I want to hire a VA, but I have no clue how to make sure I know what to ask” 

💭 “Legal stuff just overwhelms me, I don’t even know what I don’t know.” 

If any of these sound like you? You’re in exactly the right place. 

So instead of keeping this locked inside a $500/hr lawyer’s office, I’m packaging everything I’ve practiced for my own clients, and what I’ve seen work (and save businesses from absolute disasters), and giving it ALL to you. 

This isn’t a workshop that: 

✘ Drowns you in jargon

✘ Hands you “more information” without practical next steps. 

✘ Feels so generic it could apply to any business (and leaves you wondering how to apply it to yours). 

This is a workshop that will completely change the way you see the legal side of your business.
