Looking To Expand Your Small Business?

If you are looking to expand your small business but you are not sure where to start, you have come to the right place. Here at Burgh Thorpe Solicitors in Peterborough we have helped other small businesses just like yours. We have also completed the small business journey ourselves. This means we are well placed to offer legal advice and guidance to help business owners looking to expand their own small business.

When you are looking to expand your small business, it is important to remember that the process doesn’t begin or end when you choose the right person for the job. This is why our corporate solicitors in Peterborough offer a comprehensive range of corporate small business services. This is to ensure that you and your new employee have the best possible start, and future working together.

Our corporate lawyers can help with the recruitment process. We are here to support you with the drafting of advertisements, interview processes and so on. Our corporate law specialists can also provide you with up-to-date information about equality, diversity and inclusion. They will draft contracts of employments to ensure both parties fully understand the role and what is expected from them.

In addition, our corporate law specialists can offer advice when updating staff handbooks too. They can advise and assist when it comes to restructuring exercises within the business. This includes the preparation of all relevant documentation. They also have the skills and experience to advice on pay and benefits for your new and existing employees.

Having just one extra person in your team could have a big impact on your current business obligations and legal requirements. This is something that our corporate solicitors in Peterborough can talk through with you.

For example, if your business has five or more employees you will have to document your risk assessment or health and safety policy. However, if you employ 50 or more full-time employees you will need to provide health coverage to all full-time employees. If you do not, you will need to pay a tax penalty.

If you are looking to expand your small business or increasing your workforce, call our corporate lawyers first. We can make sure you have all the documentation and processes in place. This will ensure that your business is legal and protected.
