You may become a corporate promoter by learning about business and the laws governing business where you live and intend to work. Many receive corporate promoter training by attending a university and majoring in business or law. The requirements to become a corporate promoter may vary according to where you live and, in many areas, there is no specific license needed to engage in this career. Companies and individuals in search of a corporate promoter’s help may also impose their own requirements before doing business with a promoter.

In order to become a corporate promoter, study different business concepts, terms and structures. You may also benefit from learning about the various rules, ethics and regulations that pertain to business. If you plan on specializing in a particular type of business, be sure to invest a great deal of study in that area. Reading books and business magazines, as well as attending corporate events and networking in various business arenas may help you learn about the business world, as well.

During your course of self-study, you will need to learn how to structure a company in terms of shaping it into a legal entity. Understanding the various ways to finance a company and developing networks to help you do so may also help you become a corporate promoter. Developing your communication and leadership skills will also be important, as well as acquiring a solid business etiquette that will attract new clients and financiers.

Many who currently work in corporate promoter careers have received degrees in business or in law. While a degree is not always necessary to become a corporate promoter, earning one may help you prepare for the corporate promoter duties that you will be required to perform once you have formed a fiduciary relationship with the new business you will help shape and fund. You may also benefit from workshops and special seminars featuring topics that will help you in becoming a corporate promoter.

Investigate the laws where you live to learn about specific corporate promoter requirements that may need to be met for you to become a corporate promoter. While many jurisdictions do not impose licensing requirements, it is still important to have a working knowledge of the various laws and legal responsibilities that will apply to you once you become a corporate promoter. Individual business owners may also have their own standards for working with a new promoter.
