As a business owner, your business might be your greatest asset and your greatest responsibility. So, keeping your business interests protected for the long-term benefit of yourself and your family should be a major priority to every business owner or entrepreneur.

Running a business with a colleague, either as shareholders in a limited company or as partners, may sometimes present unanticipated challenges. Lots of people go into business with colleagues they know, like and trust but the pressures of running a business can put a strain on even the strongest friendship. What if something happens to one of you? Will that spell the end of the business?

Before entering into any commercial arrangements, it is imperative that you find a solicitor in the UK with knowledge in company and commercial law practice. This may include business formations, corporate searches, mergers & acquisitions, securing corporate credits or shareholder agreements. We will advise you on various aspects of company and commercial law.

A Shareholders Agreement or Partnership Agreement is therefore an essential tool which provides you and your business partner with a vital safety net. It is considered as one of the Four Pillars of Wisdom for a resilient business.
