Strategic Legal Risk Management for Mozambican SMEs

Strategic Legal Risk Management for Mozambican SMEs

Many Mozambican entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking legal consultancy is an excessive cost reserved only for large corporations. However, market reality demonstrates that SMEs are the ones least able to withstand the impact of an undue tax fine or a poorly managed labor action.

Legal Risk Management consists of identifying potential legal "landmines" before they explode, protecting the business's cash flow.

The 5 most common Legal Mistakes by SMEs:

  1. Verbal Contracts: The absence of written support in partnerships and suppliers generates total insecurity.
  2. Non-observance of INSS: Delays or omissions in social security lead to heavy interest and fines.
  3. Outdated Licensing: Operating without the correct license can lead to immediate closure.
  4. Mixing of Assets: Failing to separate the personal finances of partners from the company's finances (Society).
  5. Lack of Brand Protection: Investing in marketing without registering the brand at the IPI.
