Course description
The structure of a business and the legal requirements for directors, shareholders and company secretaries are crucial; not least for Executive Assistants and finance professionals who often have to help prepare AGMs, business reports, prepare and file accounts and manage bank accounts, etc.
If you have, or are thinking about setting up your own business, this course will provide you with an essential grounding in business structure and law.
