Incorporation & Employment

Get Official From The Start

Getting started doesn’t have to be difficult when you understand the essential steps to incorporating and staffing your business. From business naming and registration to selecting the right form of business entity, we’ll walk you through the first stages of becoming official.

Finally, learn the difference between independent contractors and employees so you can start building a team.

Intellectual Property

Protect Your Secret Sauce

Your most valuable business asset may just be your intellectual property. Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are all forms of company property that need proper legal protection, and failing to explore the vast world of IP can leave your business vulnerable. In this course, we simplify this complex subject and teach you how to analyze the value and protectability of all your potential intellectual property.

Plus, learn how to set aside employee stock options, incentive stock options, and more.
