It was really good to meet everyone (almost everyone) for the first class last Thursday. Remember, you haven't added the class, please do so asap. If you need an add code, please contact me and I will get you one. Friday is the deadline for added the class.

So we covered some of the basics about what business is and why we like, study and encourage small business. Next week we will cover legal structures of businesses.

Here are the electronic versions of the handouts that I went over in class.
