Starting up in business and wondering what the advantages are in trading out of a limited company? We can advise generally, and specifically on the types of company you can use. If you do decide that the incorporation route is right for you, we can assist in obtaining on your behalf a company which is tailor-made to the type of business which you intend to pursue.

Maybe you have already been trading as an individual and now wish to incorporate your existing business in a way which is tax and documentation efficient. Again, we can help you identify the various assets which need to be dealt with and produce an agreement which is appropriate to the task.

Thinking about going into partnership with someone else? From the start, documenting the relationship is important: it helps clarify the parties' initial expectations and means that the mechanisms are there to decide on and otherwise deal with the issues that will arise later. Some of the fiercest partnership battles we have come across have arisen because there is no written partnership agreement, and the parties are having to rely upon the limited protections afforded by a statute which is over a century old.
