Published course description:

Learn how commercial transactions are structured, how business organizations are formed, and how legal rules shape everyday business decisions.

In this course, you’ll explore key areas of business law, including sales of goods under the UCC, warranties, agency relationships, business entities, corporate governance, commercial leases, intellectual property, payment systems, creditor rights, and bankruptcy.

You’ll build practical legal awareness you can use to evaluate contracts, understand business liability, recognize risk, and make more informed decisions in professional settings.

Along the way, you’ll see how legal concepts show up in real business scenarios: a supplier dispute, an unauthorized contract, a partnership gone sideways, a commercial lease problem, or a customer who cannot pay.

This course is designed for learners who want business law to feel useful, relevant, and approachable.

Whether you work in management, HR, operations, entrepreneurship, finance, or another business role, you’ll come away with a stronger foundation for navigating commercial relationships and organizational risk.
