The launch · free until 31 January 2027

Pricing

Every edition in the library is free to read in full until the end of 31 January 2027. You need a free account. Open one by the end of 31 January and keep every edition published by then, for good. The M&A edition needs no account at all.

How the launch works

Free until 31 January

  1. Start reading today. The M&A edition is free in full with no account, and chapter 1 of every other edition needs no account either.
  2. Open a free account by the end of 31 January 2027. One email address; we send a sign-in link, so there is no password to remember. No card is asked for.
  3. Keep it. Every edition published by 31 January stays open to that account after the launch ends — every chapter, the full training document, the final exam and the record of completion.

From 1 February 2027 the paid editions are in the Library: €12 a month, or €79 for a Year Pass, tax included. Chapter 1 of every edition and the whole M&A edition stay free.

Free, and staying free

The flagship M&A Foundations workbook is free in full — all fifteen chapters, the complete training share purchase agreement, the glossary and the final exam. And chapter 1 of every edition is free, so you can hear how a workbook reads before you decide. No card, no trial clock.

Every edition, free until 31 January

Each unlocks every chapter, the full training document, the final exam and a record of completion, on any device. Open any of them below and start with chapter 1.
