License Meaning (Paul Miller 2 of 2) - a podcast by Michael Veazey

On the last episode of Amazing FBA, Paul Miller of Next Level Licensing and I sat down to chat about property licensing. Today we're back to talk about the nuts and bolts of licensing deals including the term, license property, product application, geographic territory, sales channel, and compensation structure.







Licensing can be an incredibly complex topic, so make sure if you're considering licensing a property from any brand, big or small, that you consult with a legal advisor. This episode along with Next Level Licensing's three-part course can be an excellent jumping-off point into the world of licensing, but there's no substitute for a quality legal professional by your side.
