Financial & Partnership Agreements

Finance agreements

We can help you with advice on financing and acquiring premises (where required). In addition, we can assist with drawing up and preparing your business plan, so you obtain the financial support you need to secure the start-up funds for your business proposition.

Contracts

If your business is to be fully protected in the event of a dispute it is essential that you get professionally drafted contracts, or standard terms of business, drawn up. Written contracts enable you to have an exact record of what you will provide as a service or goods for customers. It should also encompass related matters, such as the method and timing of payments due.

We can draft contracts and terms of business to ensure your business is protected at outset.

Buying and selling businesses including agricultural property/land

Irrespective of whether you wish to buy or sell a business, our team of specialists can guide you through the stages and requirements to provide smooth passage; ensuring no surprises or liabilities emerge in the future.

Partnership agreements 

If your business is a partnership you should ensure a formal Partnership Deed is drawn up to reflect the terms agreed between yourself and the other partners. It is important to remember that if a deed is not in place, the partnership may need to be dissolved in the event of a dispute; you may also face difficulties and potential court action to get rid of a disruptive partner.

There are various issues to consider at outset, for example: who the partners are, the division of shares and how profits (and losses) are shared. The Partnership Deed should also be reviewed periodically, to take account of any changes within the partnership, e.g. the inclusion of new partners.
