Legal issues are one of the most intimidating parts of running a business — especially for new entrepreneurs. This training demystifies business law by focusing on what you need to know to protect yourself and your business from day one.
We start by discussing business structure: sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation. Each model is explained in plain language, with a focus on legal liability, tax implications, and long-term scalability.
Next, we move to contracts. Participants learn the essential elements of a legally binding agreement, how to create or review client contracts, and what to include in terms of scope, payment terms, deadlines, and dispute resolution. Sample templates are provided for service agreements, NDAs, and subcontractor contracts.
We also touch on intellectual property: the basics of trademarks, copyrights, and protecting original work. Entrepreneurs in creative industries especially benefit from learning how to legally safeguard their brand name, content, and digital assets.
Other topics include privacy policies, terms & conditions for websites, and dealing with legal threats or unhappy clients. All content is designed to be beginner-friendly and immediately actionable — no legalese, just clarity.
This session is ideal for freelancers, service providers, and product-based businesses who want to reduce risk, stay compliant, and build a business foundation they can trust.
