Getting the Right Legal Status & Insurance in Place

Two words that put off new business owners; Legal and Insurance because most do not understand their importance to a start-up.

Gill Vargerson, a partner at Streeter Marshall, is an experienced corporate and commercial solicitor. She undertakes work in all areas of company and commercial law.

Rajan Amin of Coversure has decades of insurance experience and thrives on helping clients get the protection they need for an affordable premium. An expert in property and small business insurance, Rajan always goes the extra mile for his clients.

When setting up your business, it can seem confusing as to which legal structure to use. Gill will share the differences and how to choose the best option for your circumstances.

It is particularly important to consider these options when going into business with others. This may be at the get-go or as the business starts to grow. Protecting yourself as a founder to maintain certain rights is an important consideration. Gill will offer case studies regarding the pitfalls of getting it wrong and avoiding deadlock situations.

Gill will talk through the difference between LLPs, Ltd. and CICs and even How to set up a partnership without incorporating and why how this could be beneficial.

Rajan will offer insights on the importance of insurance cover, even as a sole trader and how to get it right affordably from the beginning.
