There has been a lot of press recently about a new federal rule that finally allows McDonalds to fix its own ice cream machines. This “Free the McFlurry” rule may seem random, but it’s at the heart of an issue that affects business owners everywhere.

Equipment and machinery is one of the most expensive investments you will make as a business owner. In fact, you may have even taken out loans to be able to afford the equipment and machinery that your business is using right now. What happens when that (often expensive) equipment breaks down? Equipment is often cheaper to repair rather than to replace, but federal laws can make getting a repair extremely difficult.

In this episode, we are talking about why it is sometimes so hard for business owners to get their equipment repaired and what you can do about it. This episode covers the legal reasons (the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and the opposing perspectives of manufacturers vs. the Right To Repair movement.

No matter what type of business you have, you use some type of machine. Whether you are an accountant who uses a laptop, a dental office with adjustable chairs, a transportation company with a fleet of trucks, a farmer with a fleet of tractors or a spa with specialized treatment equipment. This is a topic that affects every business owner at every level. Tune it to learn what this new rule means for your rights and what it means for your business going forward.
