Usually the biggest difficulty is getting someone interested in your idea and you're competing against everyone else, not just four of your friends.

This also means that one mistake or slip of the tongue could hurt his client's reputation. In Jack's line of business he runs a high risk of being sued for slander or libel. Professional liability insurance covers professionals who speak and write on behalf of their clients, among other things. A good publicist spends most of their time talking or writing to the media. Lessen the risk by protecting your small business from the very day you start.
