The aim of a business law qualification is to provide individuals with a comprehensive understanding of the legal principles and regulations that govern business activities. This includes everything from contracts and employment law to corporate governance and intellectual property rights. By studying business law, individuals gain the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate legal issues within the business world, whether they’re entrepreneurs, corporate executives, or legal professionals. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that businesses operate within the boundaries of the law, minimize legal risks, and effectively manage legal challenges when they arise.
The aim of this qualification is to enhance students’ understanding of how business law is applied to the running of a business organisation. Students will gain knowledge of business law and examine the impact of the law on business operations and decisionmaking. Throughout the unit students will identify legal solutions available to business owners and assess their suitability. Their experiences in this unit will help them better understand the different areas of law that apply. They will be able to illustrate the impact of the law on normal business operations and when registering a company and inviting shareholders to invest in it.
