Frequently Asked Questions
It is important to have a clear idea about the business that you want to carry on, and about its structure, which will largely be determined by the owners’ motivations in terms of type of business, size, risk, and taxation.
If there is more than one owner of the business (for example, a partnership or shareholders in a company) it is advisable that an agreement between the owners is put in place, and that this is in place at the outset, when the owners are all pulling in the same direction. Hopefully, the owners may never need to refer to the agreement – but without it, there is a greater risk for future dispute.
Owners must also think about agreements between the business and third parties, such as customers, suppliers and staff. These will form the bedrock of the external trading relationships, the rights and liabilities of the business, and will also be important if the owners want to sell the business at any point in the future.
The Corporate and Commercial Law team at TSP works with businesses of all shapes and sizes, from start-ups and SMEs to farming and family businesses to large PLCs as well as charities, councils, sporting and voluntary organisations, and what would probably be considered standard businesses such as a plumbing or electrical firms.
The businesses that we work with are from a broad range of business sectors too, including farming, property development, construction, manufacturing, care homes, and professional services, such as dentists, doctors, other healthcare providers, and other firms of solicitors.
No matter:
- the size of your business
- the location of your business
- the type of work that the business is involved in or
- the type of organisation that you are
if you need legal advice for your business you will most probably need a Corporate and Commercial solicitor, and the Corporate and Commercial team at TSP can help.
