Learning Business Contracts for Beginners

A good contract protects your assets and your bottom line. In this module, students will learn the different provisions they should add to a contract to protect themselves when things don't quite go as planned. 

This module builds on Module 4 by providing students with additional tools to reduce risk when drafting and negotiating contracts. 

This module takes the intimidation factor out of even the most dense legalese by teaching students what the terms mean and how to draft important terms and definitions in their best interest. 

Business owners often have to sign the other side's contract. In this module, students will learn how to negotiate on the other side's turf. They will learn to negotiate critical provisions and how to analyze their risk even when dealing with the most densely worded, arcane agreements. 

Module 8 delvers farther into the S.T.O.P. and L.O.O.K system and continues the examination of the critical issues everyone must evaluate and understand before signing on the bottom line of someone else's contract. 

Students will be able to test their knowledge and understanding of business contracts by analyzing a real-life example of the kind of contract they may very well see in real life (but hope not to). They will be able to read an example of both a poorly written contract and a well written, easy to understand contract, with comments provided to take the mystery out of the problems they will encounter.
