Helping you do business - better
Commercial
Whatever business you’re running, investing in or starting from scratch, we take it seriously. We take the time to make sure we understand what you want to achieve, so we can give you the advice that is in line with your objectives. The advice you receive on how to structure your business is the most fundamental requirement.
We can help you to decide whether to invest in a business on your own or by using a company, a unit trust, a discretionary trust, a joint venture or a partnership. Whatever structure is best for you, we’ll help you to document and implement it, keeping a close eye on the protection of your assets and interests.
If you’re going into business with other parties, we can create an appropriate agreement framework setting out the rules to cover the full range of contingencies in your business relationship. This covers, for example, how to proceed if one party wants to sell, what happens if one party gets divorced or dies, arrangements for payment of expenses and capital and procedures for resolving disputes between business partners.
Once your business is up and running, we can offer you advice on any aspect of your business. This includes intellectual property matters, tax, purchase or lease of business premises, and employment of staff or contractors. As your business partners and trusted advisers, we’ll always be just a phone call away.
