Contracts are encountered in almost every aspect of business.
Whether you are starting your own business for the first time, or have been trading for many years we at The Beavis Partnership
understand how to help you get the law working for you rather than against you.
The following are common areas where we can help:-
Terms & Conditions of Sale
It is important to include suitable terms and conditions of sale on all your invoices; firstly to ensure
all your clients are aware of your terms of trade, and secondly to protect your title in the
event of a client becoming insolvent. In such an eventuality proper
reservation of title may be your only hope for recovering any of the money you are owed.
Leases
Before signing-up to lease property or equipment it is important to understand
the implications of all the "small print" in the agreements. Failure to do so can result in
you becoming personally liable for business debts without being aware of it.
Personal Guarantees
Many lenders require personal guarantees before extending finance to businesses.
We can help you to avoid unexpected ramifications by reviewing terms before you commit irrevocably.
Contracts to Supply
A big contract can be a lifeline to a small business. However many contracts to supply goods or services
to larger buyers involve punative penalty clauses if a delivery or completion date is missed.
We can help negotiate realistic terms before you commit.
Employment
As soon as you start to employ other people it is essential you formulate Terms & Conditions of Employment.
If you commence engaging employees with inadequate employment contracts it can be very difficult and expensive to try to change them at a later date.
We can help tailor suitable contracts to minimise unforseen problems later on. More details on our
Employment page.
Bad Debts
Slow payers and bad debts can spell disaster for small (and not so small) businesses. For
