Business owners have always needed legal services from time to time but in recent years, those demands have increased dramatically. Now identity theft is further upping the challenge.

Not only do entrepreneurs need help with
contracts, delinquent customers, overbearing creditors, and risk assessment, but identity theft is further upping the challenge as the burden is shifted to business owners.
In recent years identity theft has become what the FBI designates as the fastest growing crime in America. According to the FTC, 27,000 people are victims of identity theft each and every day.
Studies show the average business touched by identity theft spends 1,600 hours sorting out the problems and confusion caused by the crime. Expenses can total many thousands of dollars,
especially if legal representation is required.
To make matters even more daunting, the federal government now mandates business owners take extensive precautions to protect customer and employee financial and personal information. "If a
thief makes off with your customer's credit card information and it can be shown you weren't following federal guidelines, the ensuing fines and red tape can quickly shut down a business,"
says Rick Jahn, an independent associate for Prepaid Legal Services.
Jahn's consulting firm offers a complete package of protection from identity theft, along with a high level of legal representation for a small monthly fee. "Prepaid Legal Services has partnered with Kroll Background America, one of the world's top security firms, to keep a steady watch over every member's credit files. If any suspicious activity appears, it is reported immediately, meaning
you can stop criminal activity right away," Jahn said.
Of course, problems associated with identity theft are only one of many concerns a business owner faces on a daily basis. Small businesses in particular find they often can't afford a lawyer
when solid legal advice would clearly smooth the way.
"Just think how many times in life you could have been miles ahead if you just had a good attorney in your corner. Prepaid Legal Services provides the quality, specialized legal representation you
need for a very wide variety of common business experiences," Jahn said.
Legal and identity theft packages can be had for as little as $26 per month. This makes what was once an unaffordable level of protection an almost negligible expense. "This is why Prepaid Legal Services has been featured by Newsweek, Barrons, The Wall Street Journal and many other world famous publications. Instead of requiring business owners to pay thousands for an attorney, we give you access to America's best lawyers for just a few dollars per month. This truly returns affordable access to America's great legal system back to the people," Jahn said.
