If you’ve ever thought about turning your side hustle into a real business in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere in Broward County, this episode is for you. Business law attorney Matthew Fornaro joins me to share practical, plain‑English advice on choosing the right business structure, avoiding partnership disasters, dealing with commercial landlords and surviving South Florida’s wild real‑estate market.
South Florida is full of people with big ideas and side hustles, but turning that into a real business is where a lot of locals get tripped up. In this episode, I’m joined by Coral Springs and Parkland business attorney Matthew Fornaro to talk about what it actually looks like to start, grow and protect a business in Broward County, Palm Beach and Miami‑Dade.
We get into the good, the bad and the ugly of business formation, partnerships, contracts and commercial real estate in a market that never seems to stop building. Whether you’re working out of your spare bedroom in Fort Lauderdale or signing a lease on that storefront you’ve been eyeing, this conversation will give you some local perspective before you sign anything.
