Description

Four sessions on who actually owns a business — and what that decides when something goes wrong.

Alder Street has all seven forms on it: a bakery owner trading under a fancy name with no paperwork behind it, two partners with a handshake, a family corporation, a franchised coffee shop, a member-owned credit union, and a shelter nobody owns.

Your student sorts them out, then drafts the partnership agreement two teenagers should have signed on day one — a situation your student may genuinely be in — and runs the arithmetic on whether the coffee shop owner should buy a franchise.
