Session Overview:

Before you approach a lender or break ground on your next project, it’s critical to understand how to protect what you’re building. This in-person session is designed to help Detroit entrepreneurs and developers identify and manage risk—so they can move forward with stronger partnerships, clearer documentation, and greater confidence when raising capital.

We'll split into two focused discussion rooms—one for small business owners, one for real estate developers—to explore tools and strategies for reducing exposure, including contracts, deal structuring, tenant screening, and insurance essentials.

You'll hear from a legal expert and learn from local entrepreneurs and developers who’ve navigated these challenges firsthand—so you can be better prepared for growth, lending conversations, and long-term sustainability.

🔀 Choose your Discussion Room: Small Business Room or Developer Room

Session Objectives:

Participants will:

  • Understand key risk areas in small business and development projects—including legal liability, unclear partnerships, and lack of coverage—and how to address them early.
  • Learn foundational legal tools such as deal documentation, entity structuring, and basic contract strategies that reduce risk and support lending readiness.
  • Explore how insurance and tenant underwriting can protect your investment and reduce vulnerability to financial or operational setbacks.
  • Gain practical insights from Detroit entrepreneurs and developers on how they’ve proactively managed risk and prepared for financing or scaling decisions.
