When we talk about political factors, we look at things on a larger scale (i.e., international and local laws and regulations). While the legal factors point to rules specific to the company’s context (i.e., permits, licenses, and certifications.) Although both factors speak of rules and regulations that can affect the business’s operation, the political factor speaks to the government. In contrast, legal factors cross the Ts and dots the Is to make sure that the company does not violate any legal proceeding that may suspend if not terminate their operations.
