Small Business Policy Starter Kit
Small Business Policy Starter Kit
Running a small business means you’re responsible for more than most people realize — data, people, decisions, and what happens when things don’t go as planned.
This Small Business Policy Starter Kit gives you a clear, practical foundation to protect what you’re building, without lawyers, jargon, or overwhelm.
It’s designed for solo business owners and small teams who want to do things responsibly — even if you’re just getting started.
What’s Included
This kit includes seven essential business policies in Google Doc and Word formats. They are written in plain English and designed to be customized for your business:
- Privacy Policy
- Information Security Policy
- Incident Response Policy
- People Practices Policy
- Independent Contractor Policy
- Acceptable Use Policy
- Records Retention Policy
Each policy includes:
- Simple instructions on how to customize it
- A clear explanation of its purpose
- Language appropriate for small, real-world businesses
No filler. No scare tactics. No legal gymnastics.
Who This Is For
This kit is for you if:
- You’re a one-woman business or small business owner
- You know you should have policies, but don’t know where to start
- You don’t want to rely on random templates or Googling
- You want something reasonable, professional, and done
You do not need to have employees for this to be useful. These policies matter even when it’s just you.
How It Works
- Download the kit.
- Start with one policy (we recommend Privacy or Information Security).
- Customize it in about 30 minutes.
- Repeat as time allows.
Progress beats perfection. Having something written matters more than having it perfect.
What This Is (and Isn’t)
This kit is:
- A practical starting point
- Written by a former Fortune 500 risk executive and small business owner
- Built to reduce confusion and unnecessary risk
This kit is not:
- Legal advice
- A replacement for an attorney in complex situations
- Over-engineered for corporations
It’s meant to meet you where you are — and help you move forward prepared.
File Format & Delivery
- Delivered as a downloadable ZIP file
- Editable documents you can customize for your business in both Word and Google Docs formats.
- One purchase per business
Why This Exists
Small businesses face many of the same risks as large companies — but without legal teams or unlimited budgets.
This kit exists to close that gap.
Clear policies help you make better decisions, respond calmly when things go wrong, and show that you’re operating thoughtfully and intentionally.
