Our lawyers are experienced in advising start up and small businesses. If you intend to start up a business in the UK, you will be faced with a number of commercial and legal issues, such as, which legal structure to adopt for your mode of business; choosing a name for your business; drafting a business plan; registering the name(s) as a trade mark; filing patent applications to protect any subsisting technology; protecting any intellectual property rights; marketing your products or services and obtaining high quality legal advice.

There are several vehicles you can adopt when starting a business in the UK. The structure you adopt will be dependant on the legal, commercial and tax implications for your business. The main business structures that are employed are: sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership and the limited company. There are clear advantages and disadvantages of carrying on business through each mode, and some structures are more suited to certain types of businesses.
