Business is a complex activity that requires an in-depth understanding of economics and law. It is not uncommon for people to try to start their own business, but it can be dangerous as this often fails. You need to be able to manage your business legally and correctly. This is particularly important if you plan on working in the EU. There are often differences in-laws and regulations within the EU. Additionally, there may be differences in the laws of different countries within the EU. This can complicate the process. The second course in the European Business Course series, developed by Lund University, will help you navigate the many aspects of law required to conduct business in the EU.
