BUSINESS START UP SOLICITORS EAST LONDON & SMALL BUSINESS LAWYERS
What are business start ups?
Starting up your new business is always an exciting time. Finally you are working for yourself and are the leader of your own destiny. Making sure you get things right before you even start is therefore really important.
Our solicitors have worked with an entire spectrum of entrepreneurs ranging from start-up novices to business tycoons.
East London solicitors know that starting up your business on the right foot is essential if you want to give your business the best chance to succeed.
Basics of company law
The purpose of seeing a start up lawyer is to give your business the best start by ensuring any long-term business objectives you have are established from the outset. Business is hard enough without having to operate with one hand tied behind your back because your legal structure is all wrong.
During our first meeting we will consider the most ideal legal structure to suit the nature of your business and how this will affect your overall objectives.
There are three main structures which will be considered: limited company, sole trader or partnership structure. There are a number of integral considerations to have in mind when choosing which is the best for you. Although partnerships and sole traders are the quickest to set up they are highly disadvantaged by the fact that owners will assume significant personal risk and liability.
We will then draft a business plan to have a clear idea of your business objectives so that we are not solely considering the short-term aims of a successful start-up but in fact are considering your ultimate ambitions.
East London solicitors will consider your business enterprise in the context of the law. We will focus on the legal aspects of expansion and marketing at this early stage in the establishment of your company.
We make sure we pick up on all relevant points of law depending on the nature of your business for example if you are intending to establish a business which requires permits and/or licences then we will make sure that you will be able to obtain these. If you have important intellectual property which needs to be protected then we will advise on that and tell you how best to do so.
We also advise on your relationship with other business owners and/or investors and make sure that all agreements are in place regulating how you will act to one another.
