Starting a business involves more than a good idea and a business plan. Understanding the legal framework from the outset can help founders make informed decisions and reduce avoidable risks.
Choose an appropriate business structure
Consider the ownership arrangements, liability exposure, funding plans and regulatory obligations associated with the proposed business structure. The appropriate option depends on the nature and scale of the enterprise.
Complete applicable registrations
Determine which registrations, permits, tax obligations and sector-specific approvals apply to your business. Requirements vary according to the activities being undertaken.
Document important agreements
Written agreements can clarify responsibilities between founders, customers, suppliers and business partners. Contracts should accurately reflect the parties’ intentions and applicable law.
