Course Description
This course provides the important legal information you want as an entrepreneur and business owner. The course is ideal for helping you decide important factors to consider when leaving your current employer and taking the jump to your own business. We discuss the important components of business operational structures so you understand how to structure your business for legal and tax purposes. Next, we show you how to raise startup capital and venture capital if you need it. These concepts are complemented with the necessary legal protection you need to protect yourself as an employer as we cover employment law for hiring, and firing. Then we cover all of the taxation and liability insurance requirements you have for your business as well as the necessary pieces of contracts you will use in your business. After these foundational aspects we also cover valuating your company and selling your company when you want to move on to the next big venture as an entrepreneur.
This course provides you the lessons you need to help you mitigate risk, ensure growth, and steer you clear of potential pitfalls. We show you how to protect what you have developed and what to do to avoid bankruptcy. All of the aspects you need for planning the perfect business environment are included. Experts say the best businesses are those that are carefully planned and can therefore stand the test of time.
