    It contains all the informations you must know to build up the perfect foundation for your business. Of course, all the notions are quite generic, but after all, it is a course for beginners. I am working on my business since last year, and I can assure you that, even after all these months of research and study (in order to create the perfect business), with this course I learned many new things that I am immediately going to apply to my Start-Up. The cherry on the top? All this knowledge really is for free!
