YOUR PREMISES

The place from which you operate your business is probably one of the most important considerations to your success.

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS

Going into partnership is something many people do without always considering the full implications. Perhaps surprisingly a written partnership agreement is not always necessary to set up in business with someone. This is all very well until problems arise and if there is no written agreement, lengthy expensive and complex litigation can follow.

This can often be avoided if prospective business partners take full advice and deal with potential issues which could affect the partnership in the agreement at the outset.

Being fully advised can help your business face the competitive challenges of business in a more efficient, cost-effective manner. We can help you structure and develop your business, whilst protecting your personal position as much as possible. Our practitioners will guide you through the complexities of starting a new business, or developing an existing business, considering issues such as:-

• The formation of a partnership
• Raising capital and finance
• The terms of your partnership
• Profit sharing agreements
• Partnership property issues
• Succession matters
• Management structure
• Partnership strategies
