What legal matters should you plan to work through in the process of starting a business? Many people start their business unaware of the legal decisions that must be made when establishing it and the potential liabilities that should be mitigated.

This course covers the fundamental issues you should consider, and steps involved in forming a business entity. Topics covered include what to consider when choosing an entity type, how a business entity can shield you from personal liability, what governing documents you need and what those documents should contain, how to procure an EIN, and basic tax considerations.
