Understand, Negotiate, and Avoid Problems
Small businesses have to deal with contracts on a regular basis, but unfortunately most small businesses don't have in-house lawyers to ensure that contracts are fair or to create new contracts when necessary.
The Small-Business Contracts Handbook: Understand, Negotiate, and Avoid Problems helps small-business owners understand hundreds of standard contract clauses, such as those found in partnership agreements, lease agreements, and contracts for the purchase or sale of goods or a business.
Using everyday language, author Lawrence Hsieh takes readers step-by-step through standard clauses and explains their meanings. He pinpoints potential problems in contracts, and clarifies legal jargon in simple terms for the layperson.
While it takes a great deal of hard work to make a small business successful, it can also come down to paperwork. A well-written contract can make or break a business. Having a good understanding of standard business contracts and being able to negotiate and make changes to your own are critical skills essential to the effective running of a small business.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
