Actions speak louder than words
Our model of focus and cutting out the frills and a tight control on overheads does work for entrepreneurs. As a result, every year we literally deal with thousands of entrepreneurs. We view entrepreneurs as our new blood to cherish. We actively support the entrepreneurial sector in many ways.
- We run regular free commercial clinics at our office where anyone can drop by and ask us any question about starting up or early stage business.
- We talk to incubators and accelerators in their offices about latest developments the start ups can use to help their trade.
- We are members of the UK Business Angels Association and the EISA.
- Our team are continually trained in the skills and knowledge needed when dealing with an entrepreneurial business.
Solicitors for entrepreneurs
We find most entrepreneurs find us good at:
- Explaining the fund raising process. We have an SEIS and EIS package which covers all the work needed to obtain assurance from HMRC that investors will qualify for tax relief.
- Setting up the structure of the business to protect various shareholder interests. We balance the often competing needs of founders, investors and employee shareholders.
- Guidance on protection of their business idea, intellectual property and technology developed. Dealing with ownership aspects will make the business more saleable.
- Taking entrepreneurs through a business acquisition or sale. We often work on transactions for businesses who come to us when fledging but where we have seen them through each stage of evolution.
