Starting a business is an exciting time. It’s natural to want to dive right in and start selling to customers straight away.

But before you launch, you need to make sure you’ve checked off all the legal requirements for your small business. You don’t want to get a year down the line and discover you aren’t properly insured or you have to change your business’s name. There's lots to consider. Which business structure should you choose? What licences do you need? Are you aware of health and safety rules? This group is for anyone who has questions about their legals - and anyone who is happy to help answer those questions. Please join, introduce yourself and get the conversation started.

I am a qualified solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales and the founder of <a href='http://www.buckworths.com/' target='_self'>Buckworths</a>, the only law firm in the UK working exclusively with start-ups and high growth businesses. Buckworths works across multiple sectors, including Technology, Fin-Tech, Restaurants and Hospitality, Fashion and Fashion-Tech, Bio-Tech and Med-Tech, Blockchain, and more. My passion for entrepreneurialism has led me to advise on the countless of start-ups over the last ten years across multiple industry sectors. For several years, I have been a regular speaker at industry events encouraging entrepreneurs to take the next step in their start-up journey.
Recently, I also published my first Amazon Best Seller, Built On Rock - the busy entrepreneur's legal guide to start-up success. Advising on the risks and pitfalls to avoid when setting up your own business, I wrote this book to make the complicated aspects of start-up law simple. Available on Amazon and in all good bookstores.
