Starting a new business is an exciting step but the legal foundation needs to be solid to ensure there is a solid start and clear management in the future. Our team is ready to assist you with all the legal and regulatory details to ensure your business starts off on the right foot. Our standard SME packages deal with the primary concerns of a start-up and can be uniquely adapted to cater for additional needs.

CO-FOUNDER PACKAGE
Joining forces with other partners to start a business with co-founders is both exciting and daunting. There may be many questions running through your mind such as:
- Who will manage the day-to-day activities of the business and how will matters be put to a vote?
- How will the business raise funds?
- What happens if an existing shareholder wants to leave?
- Do all shareholders need to be actively involved or can there be silent partners?
- How will we handle the intellectual property rights?
We are able to assist with these and other questions. The most important step is to formalise the business relationship between co-founders and investors.
Package includes:
- Consultation (to understand and advise on shareholder and co-founder dynamics)

Package Includes:
1. Consultation
2. Registrability search
3. Trademark Registration (mark per class)
