Business Law and Practice

Business Law and Practice is part of CILEX’s exciting new Explorer series. It begins by introducing students to the different types of business structures, before explaining the law covering starting and running a business as a sole trader. It then focusses on partnerships, explaining the legal requirements for starting, running and dissolving a partnership. The requirements for starting a limited liability partnership are also described. 

Next, the book examines the legal requirements relating to private limited companies. The topics covered include starting and running a private limited company as well as the duties of company officers. The responsibilities and controls over directors are examined, in relation to service contracts and other transactions, as well as the mechanisms for removing directors.

After discussing financing the company and shareholder issues, the book examines the consequences of company administration, insolvency and personal bankruptcy. 

Finally, contracts for goods and services are examined, together with key business taxes.
