Growing your business not only means developing your product, protecting your technology, financing and selling, it means determining who you need to help you and in what capacity you need their help.

For example, instead of hiring in-house sales personnel, it may be more beneficial and profitable to hire manufacturer's reps or independent sales representatives.

Whether you hire employees or hire independent contractors, consider using Non-Compete Agreements and Secrecy Agreements.
