AST Hampsons has been instrumental in assisting numerous startups in establishing a solid legal foundation for their business concepts. Our expertise extends to providing specialised commercial legal counsel tailored to the needs of startups and emerging businesses. We understand budgeting is important for young businesses and offer a comprehensive fixed-price package of specialised advice, inclusive of essential documents and registrations.
Training
Our team frequently provides legal training to entrepreneurs, guiding them through the legal intricacies of launching a business. For a detailed understanding of this, please contact our Corporate Commercial team for additional information regarding training.
Budgets
We understand that managing costs and budgets is paramount when embarking on a business venture. Legal expenses can often be unpredictable, with many law firms hesitating to offer fixed pricing for their services. Consequently, many businesses forego formal legal guidance initially, a decision they may later regret. Many issues become more complex, costly, and challenging to address as a business matures, potentially diminishing its overall value.
Business Plan
We start by discussing your business plan with you and providing advice on the legal obligations specific to your enterprise, all without any obligation or cost. If you are working with limited financial resources, we can help you prioritise your legal requirements and outline them as individual fixed-price deliverables.
This approach allows you to obtain professional guidance while maintaining control over your expenses.
AST Hampsons' startup pack encompasses:
An initial, no-obligation telephone consultation to explore the services we can offer your business and how we can support you.
Guidance on the fundamental legal prerequisites for your business, outlining what needs to be done to get started.
