You’ve got a great new business idea! It will definitely work! You expect to make a fortune!
We hope you’re right but please make sure that you structure the business properly, keep ownership of your ideas, keep them secret until you want to market them and sell within the various laws and regulations that apply these days. Read our article Start-up: The right way or NO WAY!
We are experts at helping you through this maze in our plain English way.
Just think about a few examples of where you might wish to be particularly careful:
- If you pay a designer for a logo or website, who owns the copyright? Answer: they do, unless you get the contract right.
- Do you want your house to be “on the line”?
- Is your liability limited to the amount of insurance you have?
