Business foundations

Before the first registration, ask the right questions.

A clearer business brief makes the next conversation more useful. Here are a few places to start.

Start with what the business will actually do

Write a short description of your activities, who you will serve, and how the business will operate. This creates context for discussing structure, registration, and licensing.

Think about ownership and decision-making

Who will own the business? How will decisions be made? If you are starting with partners, an early conversation about responsibilities and expectations can help.

Gather what you already have

Bring existing registrations, draft agreements, and a list of questions to your consultation. You do not need every answer before you begin.

Turn the questions into a plan

Your situation and the current requirements determine the next steps. A professional review can help you agree the relevant work and its scope.

A useful starting point. Your next step depends on your circumstances.
