A proposed company has draft articles, a lease signed by a promoter, a foreign investor with 30 percent of the equity, and a business scope that includes online education and consulting.
Do not merge registration, investment access, and private contract questions. Put each issue in its own column.
Students should identify articles, registered capital, legal representative, business scope, and investor information as distinct issues. The exercise should leave room for students to flag missing facts rather than invent approvals.
