Legal Literacy Skills

Acting in an ethical and legal manner

When in business we need to ensure we act in an ethical and legal manner. What is certain are the actions that are within the law, and you will be guided on those actions in the ‘Your legal obligations’ module. Some businesses need to be registered for an ABN and when you interact with the 'Getting an ABN' topic you will learn how to do so. Accidents do happen and they can happen in business as well. To know what insurance a business might need you will find out when you engage with the content in 'Insurance'

Choosing the right business structure deserves a lot of thought and consideration. The topic 'Forms of business structure' brings you step by step through the forms of legal structures you can choose from. When you establish a business, it is important to have a business name that is unique, memorable and on-brand! In the 'Naming and Registering Your Business’ topic you will learn how to go about choosing your business name and then registering it. Acting creatively means you have spent time and effort developing an idea that has the potential to be turned into a business. It is important that you protect what you can so that others don't reap the benefits of your efforts. This is where the topic 'Intellectual Property Rights' comes in!
