## Resource

Creators, freelancers, and micro-business owners often only think about contracts, IP rights, payment terms, and legal recourse after something goes wrong. But by then, it may already be messy. In this live TFC Business Show session, recorded live at Whiskdom Cafe, we unpack what creators need to know to protect their work and get paid properly. We discuss what happens when a stockist does not pay, why contracts matter, what creators should look out for before signing agreements, how IP ownership works, when trademark registration becomes important, and how AI may affect copyright protection. Because once your creative work starts making money, you are not “just doing passion” anymore. You are building a business. And businesses need protection, paperwork, and proper recourse when things go wrong. This conversation is for creators, freelancers, designers, performers, IP owners, and anyone building something from scratch. Featuring: Reggie Koh - Founder, The Financial Coconut Chanel Lee - Creator & Founder, Tasty Toastys Pin-Ping Oh - IP Lawyer, Bird & Bird Laura Kee - VICPA (Visual, Audio, Creative Content Professionals Association) Singapore Subscribe for more conversations on business, money, work, and building better lives.
