Two bright miniature business districts connected by a bridge and an open company charter. Expressive Course identity, not a legal diagram or a literal map of either country.

See it. Try it. Make it yours.

  2. Read a cap table and question how a company raises money.

  3. Count votes and spot decisions that need more care or independence.

beginner to advanced introduction · What to know before you start

Bring with you: Read short English scenarios and add, subtract, multiply or divide small numbers. Percentages and legal terms are taught here; no law or business training is assumed.

A founder, investor and director can look at the same deal and see different risks. Learn to ask who owns what, who may decide and which rulebook answers the question before trusting an attractive business proposal.

Follow a small company from its first bank account to funding, board conflicts, a buyout and a cross-border crisis. Short explanations lead into sorting, calculations and decisions; the final boardroom brings those ideas together.
