You must FIRST create a post to reply to question 1 and 2. After you have replied to question 1 and 2, you will then be able to see your classmates' responses. You will then create a SECOND post to address question 3, where you respond to two of your classmates.

A. PART A - create a post to reply to question 1 and 2:

Do an internet search for "starting your own business legal requirements." Spend some time exploring and reading the information on the websites that you find. Then, create a post with the following:

1. What one piece of legal advice did you find that would be most helpful in starting a new business? Why?

2. What else did you learn about starting a new business that would help make the business successful? How can this be used to get your business off to a good start?

B. PART B - after you have posted your reply for question 1 and 2, create two other posts to respond to your classmates on question 3:
