Business Start-Ups

This term “business start-up” is used to describe the creation of a new business. When starting up in business, there are many legal issues which must be considered, including:

• How the business is to be structured (sole trader, partnership or limited company)
• Employment contracts and associated matters
• Trading terms
• Commercial contracts
• Property matters

If the new business is to establish a UK presence for an existing foreign business, then there are additional considerations, such as immigration matters.

• Terms and conditions
• Business immigration
• Partnership agreements
• Shareholders agreements
• International inward/outward investment
