Business start up legal advice

When you make the decision to set up a business, you are investing time and money into something you know has to work. It pays to go into your new venture with a sound foundation for the business, one that has been formed with a full awareness of relevant law and regulations, one that is built to last with the ability to anticipate and react to change. We will advise you in those essential early stages of business, giving you advice to assist you to form a business built for success and able to plan and grow effectively without avoidable legal obstacles.


Our experience in business start-ups

We have been helping to establish new businesses for many years, whether from scratch or businesses spun out from other companies or organisations. We have remained supportive of many of the clients we met at the inception of their business and are looked on as part of their extended ‘team’.

We deliver the legal services required for your business start up with the benefit of a full corporate legal team, and so we offer a comprehensive range of advice and services you will require in these early stages, whether you intend to operate as a sole trader, a partnership, company or LLP.


About our work with Business Start-Ups

Often, many new businesses are surprised to discover that setting up is about much more than filling in forms and processing paperwork. In order to work strategically, which is vital in the early years of business, and maximise value at a later date you need to have done everything you can to plan for the future and anticipate as many eventualities as possible, creating a strong foundation for your business. If you have not made focused decisions on the kind of company you have, how it is run, what happens in the case of dispute with others involved in the business, or any of the other matters that often damage new businesses, you are taking unnecessary risks before you have even begun.

Our dedicated corporate and commercial teams are able to deliver well tailored, fast, effective guidance and assistance because of our expertise and resources covering the following: 

  • advice on incorporation of a company, partnership or LLP
  • drafting terms and conditions for your business
  • protecting your know how, ideas and trade marks
  • ensuring you have correct registrations for your type of business whether related to VAT, data protection, money laundering regulations or otherwise
  • drafting agreements between the owners and managers of the business on how it should be managed and income/gains generated
  • advice on employing people within the business
