Master the essentials of launching a startup – from structure to strategy, this course covers every key step to build a business the smart way.

Overview
Starting a business is exciting until you realise how many things you didn’t think of. From naming your business to sorting legal factors, there’s quite a bit to sort before you even sell your first product or service.
