Business Law

Business law is a branch of civil law that controls commerce and business in both public and private sectors. It covers a wide variety of areas and provides a legal framework within which companies are formed and organized as well as how company matters are conducted. Closely held corporations, directors and officers, fiduciary relationships, shares and stockholders, dissolution and receivership, franchise relationships, and management liabilities are some of the many things that business law covers.

Did you know?
A business is something that is operated in an organized, continuous and regular manner with an expectation of profit under commercial principles, such as keeping accurate records.
It differs from a hobby in the respect that a profit is the expected result. This distinction is vital, especially for tax purposes because losses from a company are tax-deductible, whereas losses generated from other endeavors are not.
