Financial and Legal Literacy of Young Entrepreneurs: How to Protect Yourself from the Start?

18 Jun , 10:00–11:15
International Youth Economic Forum
Pavilion G, conference hall G5

Young entrepreneurs often experience in practice what ‘a lack of knowledge of legal norms’ actually means. Compared to other citizens, they are more involved in legal transactions with the state and other bureaucratic structures. Especially when launching a private business, important legal aspects may not be taken into account at the ‘packaging’ stage. However, as the saying goes, ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of the law excuses not) so it is extremely important to build a financial and legal culture among young people. Which legal risks should young entrepreneurs take into account when starting a business and which ones should they worry about at a later stage? Do entrepreneurs need to have a legal degree? What recommendations should be considered when starting and running a business?
