If you are planning to set up a business or acquire an existing business it is important that you discuss the situation to establish any looming traps or pitfalls before you are committed in any way.

We can advise on the best “vehicle” for such a transaction: be it partnership, limited company or franchise.

At the same time we can discuss the availability of help from various finance sources and can put you on to suitable accountants.

Whilst we do not ourselves practice in the highly specialised field of patents and trade-marks we do have contracts with Patent Agents who are qualified in this field.

Coupled with these “background” considerations we can also act for you in the purchase or lease of business premises. If you are a newcomer to the area we can advise on whether the premises you are considering are likely to be in the best position.
