"Oh, thanks." That's how every free fix I gave a business owner ended, for years. I'd spot something in their documents and walk them through it. They were sincere and grateful... and nothing came after it.Nobody did anything wrong. Free advice just doesn't come with a next step, so both sides drift back to their own to-do lists.What I've figured out is that the look itself is the work. What I post here is free and always will be. Reading a company's documents the way an investor or buyer will, and showing the owner every gap, is the part I charge for now. Whether they fix the gaps with me or someone else is up to them.General education, not legal advice.
