Wednesday June 27, 2018, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM The Legal Liability of Owning a Small Business
Businesses essentially deal with contracts practically on a daily basis. Many contracts are transactions involving goods and services and many are even unwritten. As contracts represent a legally binding agreement, an honest contractual mistake can cause serious problems. It is, therefore, essential that small business owners have at least a basic understanding of contract law. This workshop covers the basics of contract law and how it relates to the many aspects of running a business. Areas covered will include:
• When a verbal agreement carries the weight of a contract
• The meaning of “breach of contract”
• Which contracts must be in writing
• Other significant and interrelated topics.
