Course description

Every business decision has a legal consequence. The entity you choose determines your taxes and liability. The way you raise capital determines your obligations to investors. The way you treat employees determines your exposure to lawsuits.

This course walks through the full legal lifecycle of a business: choosing the right structure, building corporate governance, raising capital within SEC rules, expanding through franchising and M&A, and managing the employment relationship.

Built for anyone who wants to understand business law as a system — not just a list of rules to memorize.

Understand how companies raise capital legally, from angel rounds to IPOs
Evaluate expansion strategies: franchising, mergers, acquisitions, and hostile takeover defenses

honestly did not expect much for free but the simulator part caught me off guard. i kept replaying scenarios on my commute. way better than just reading theory and hoping it sticks

Did the whole thing over a weekend. Lessons are short but they don't feel dumbed down which is rare. The podcast format is great for when I'm driving between client sites.

I've paid for courses 10x this price that taught me less. The flashcards actually helped me remember terms for a presentation last week. My manager noticed lol
