You and your sibling, Taylor, together own and operate the grocery and catering businesses.

The FF grocery store is busy and heavily trafficked with customers every day. You and Taylor are concerned about potential accidents on the store property and other liabilities that could arise with customers and employees. You both believe you need to make some changes to reduce FF’s liabilities.
