- Types of companies that exist, advantages and disadvantages of each one.
- Team structure and roles.
- How to find clients. Methods, contacts, cold calling.
- Types of documents that help manage numbers.
- The role of the management agent. Online or in person?
- Billing programs.
- Time-saving programs.
- "Romantic" mistakes to avoid.
- The advantages of working for yourself.
- The disadvantages of working for yourself.
