Business Support

Legal Structures:

We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the structures.

We look at your aims & objectives and business planning to ensure that the structures are fit for purpose and factor in key issues such as finance and control.

We consider the organisation’s proposed activities, income generation and governance structure so that it is able to access the support, funding or trading opportunities that it needs to fulfil its goals.  

Advice is also provided on any long‐term consequences of the chosen structure, and ongoing legal compliance you need to be aware of. 

Social Enterprise:

A Social Enterprise is a not-for-personal-profit business that trades to address social or environmental needs and usually re-invests its profit in its objectives.

If you are considering social enterprise as an option, we can help with expert advice and guidance to support you on your journey:

  • Understanding what social enterprise is and if it could work for you
