About
For your home-based artisanal bakery to thrive, it’s essential to establish a strong legal foundation that safeguards against common risks and sets the stage for future growth. While the law itself is gender-neutral and color-blind, women entrepreneurs and members of certain ethnicities may face unique challenges in navigating legal matters such as setting boundaries, establishing control, and formalizing business relationships due to societal perceptions and biases. In this course we will guide you through the legal challenges you might encounter as you build and run your bakery. We will help you develop strategies to protect yourself and your business while planning for future opportunities. You’ll learn to identify vulnerabilities in critical areas—such as business structure, ownership, finance, human resources, and intellectual property—and create an action plan to mitigate these risks. By the end of the course, you’ll have a practical toolkit designed to leverage legal principles as a strategic asset for your bakery’s success and maximize your entrepreneurial opportunities. Note: This course focuses on U.S. business law, which can vary by state, but will cover universal legal issues and strategies. The toolkit provided will be applicable to for-profit artisanal bakery businesses regardless of location. Legal considerations for non-profit entities are not included.
