Starting a business

One of the first things that anyone starting a business needs to decide is how that business will be structured.

You may want to strike out on your own as a sole trader, or work as part of a collaboration with others in a partnership, limited company or limited liability partnership.

At Star Legal we can advise you on which option will best suit your needs, going through the potential risks and benefits of each.

Managing risks is a crucial part of business and we can also help you formulate the right trading agreements and terms of business.

Before you finalise your new business plans, contact us and let us help you make the best decision you can.
