Starting a new business can be a minefield not least due to all the various elements that need to be considered such as:
- The identity of the business – limited company, partnership, limited liability partnership or sole trader?
- Whether shareholder or partnership agreements are required to assist with the day to day running of the business and deal with the internal relationships between the owners
- Will the business premises be owned or leased?
- The terms and conditions and contracts that need to be in place with customers and suppliers
- Providing employees with contracts and handbooks and complying with all aspects of employment law
- Directors’ service agreements
