DORiSA Consult, a leading firm in Consulting, Advocacy and Counselling, is set to host the 3rd Edition of its Monthly Business Advocacy Forum & Counselling Series on Wednesday, 14th October 2026 at 7:00 PM GMT via Microsoft Teams (Virtual).
This edition tackles one of the most pressing challenges confronting Ghanaian SMEs today: how to convert online visibility into real sales without breaking the law.
In an era where digital marketing is non-negotiable, many entrepreneurs are unknowingly exposing their businesses to legal risks, from misleading advertising and false representation, to non-compliant online contracts, data protection violations under Ghana’s Data Protection Act, tax non-disclosure for online businesses, and use of unregistered trademarks and content.
The forum will equip entrepreneurs, startups, SME owners, and digital marketers with practical, legally compliant strategies for sustainable digital positioning and revenue growth in 2026.
The theme, “From Visibility to Sales – The Legal Way: Compliant Digital Positioning Strategies for SMEs in 2026,” is timely as SMEs are under increasing scrutiny from regulators, consumers, and online platforms demanding transparency and compliance.
