Starting a business represents the biggest risk most people will ever take in the course of their working lives. Because that risk is so great, many of those individuals will reap significant financial and economic rewards, as well as emotional and personal satisfaction in their careers. Unfortunately, statistics show that many more individuals will fail and lose not only their initial investments but potentially more, both economically and personally.  

With proper preparation, the investment risk associated with starting a business can be controlled and minimized. The secret is in understanding entity structures and the ins and outs of financing terms. In this course, you will learn the key aspects of corporate, family limited partnership, partnership, and limited liability company basics both from a tax perspective, as well as a liability and exposure perspective. You will learn how to develop and use a business plan to your advantage to guide you as you embark on this most amazing adventure.  

Further discussions in this course include considering business growth through acquisitions and how to drive strong relationships with your banking representatives.
