BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL

The term Small Business is sometimes an unfortunate one.  If you run a business, or are thinking about buying one, it may be “small” compared to the large national and multi-national companies, but it certainly isn’t small to you! 

Its usually your livelihood, it usually involves family members and others depending on you.  Its something into which you’ve invested time (lots of it!), effort, late nights, research, as well as money.  A more appropriate description is usually small to medium enterprises - you may have seen the more common abbreviation - SME’s.  Its important to you that things are right.

Things go right most of the time, but not always. 

The time to set out an agreed framework to work through problems in your SME’s workings and relationships is before they occur!  This is where we can help too.

Frank Alvaro can advise in many areas that concern your business, including:

• Trade practices

• Sale and purchases of businesses

• Franchising, franchise agreements, including your rights and obligations under the Franchising Code of Conduct

• Terms and conditions

• Partnership agreements

• Shareholders agreements

• Business succession agreements (“buy-sell” agreements)

• Commercial and Retail Leases

• Sale & purchase of commercial and industrial properties

• Directors' duties

If you’re setting up a new business or buying an existing one, you’ll need to consider your business structure: do you intend to operate as a sole trader, partnership, company, or even hold assets by means of a trust?
