Everything you need to get it right from the start
Buying an existing business or establishing one is both daunting and exciting. There are lots of decisions to make and risks to consider.
-
When is the best time to get advice?
Right at the start – before you agree to anything! We work closely with you to understand your goals and objectives.
-
Is this opportunity worth pursuing?
A key step often neglected is proper assessment before or during due diligence. Due diligence is about safeguarding your interests. It’s important to identify any existing risks, liabilities and disputes; and ensure the business value is present.
-
What else do I need to consider?
Getting your business set up correctly from the start reduces pain in the long term, with employees, financiers, shareholders, and all stakeholders. We can then help with everything from initial concept and financing to settlement and beyond.
Tailored support for your next move
Once you have your business, we can help you with everything ongoing, including regular reviews to ensure it’s built on solid foundations.
-
How can you help my existing business?
With us, the relationship doesn’t end once you’ve bought or started a business– we want to work with you throughout the duration of the business life cycle which includes running, growing, and ultimately exiting your business.
-
What can I do to manage change better?
Ensuring your business is set up correctly and modifying any set-up to meet the constant changes in business today is vital! It also allows your business to run more smoothly, reduce risk, and maximise return in the business life cycle.
-
Which business areas do you support?
We work with you to understand your business from the ground up ensuring the advice is 100% relevant to you. Our expert team provides tailored advice across all operational business areas.
This includes regulation and documentation, workplace and employment issues, property and real estate, cyber and information security, consumer law, and everything in between.
