There is a lot to consider when setting up a new company, from choosing the right corporate structure to reflect and support your business’ unique goals to ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

When setting up a company, it is important to take into consideration any relevant factors, including, the size of the business, whether there are any other businesses within the group structure and the operational needs of the proposed business. Whether the best framework for your business is a limited company, partnership, sole trader or limited liability partnership (LLP), we are expertly placed to guide you to the model that best fits your business.

Once you have decided on a business structure, there are other practicalities to consider. A key consideration is ensuring you have the necessary corporate governance policies and procedures in place. There are other more practical considerations such as establishing the structure of the company’s share capital; deciding whether any shareholder agreements are necessary; or whether the directors of the company could benefit from some training their duties as directors.

Whether you are setting up a new company for the first time or are expanding your existing business structure, our Corporate team can offer guidance on the legal practicalities.
