Which Business Law and Practice chapters does it cover?

All 16, in the order the syllabus builds: from Business Structures to Personal Bankruptcy and Alternatives. Chapter 1 is the free sample, so you can judge the writing before you buy.

Which formats does the Business Law and Practice ebook come in?

Both, in one purchase: EPUB for Kindle (via Send to Kindle), Apple Books, Kobo and Pocketbook, and a print-quality PDF. Both downloads appear in your library straight after checkout and you can re-download them any time.

How much does the Business Law and Practice study guide cost?

£9.99 as a one-time purchase with lifetime access and no subscription. All 13 FLK1 and FLK2 guides together are £49.99, less than six books bought separately.

Is this the same as the Business Law and Practice Kindle and paperback editions on Amazon?

The text is the same. The Kindle edition is sold through Amazon; the paperback drops the flashcard appendix and, in the longest subjects, some of the worked questions. The ebook here is the complete edition with every question and flashcard, in PDF and EPUB.

How is the Business Law and Practice book different from the SQE1 Prep platform?

It is drawn from the same Business Law and Practice notes and question bank as sqe1prep.co.uk, arranged for reading end to end. The book works offline, on paper or on a Kindle. The platform adds timed FLK1 mock exams, spaced-repetition scheduling and progress tracking across all 13 subjects, and its lifetime plan includes every book.

Do I need the other FLK1 guides too?

FLK1 examines 6 subjects in a single 180-question paper, so most candidates cover all of them. Each guide is one subject, so buy the ones you need at £9.99 or take all 13 for £49.99.

Is the Business Law and Practice guide up to date for the 2026 sittings?

Yes. It states the law in force at publication on the copyright page and follows the current SRA assessment specification for SQE1 FLK1. When the syllabus changes we re-issue, and existing buyers download the new edition from their library free.
