New Owner Support

Taking ownership of a business involves more than completing the purchase. From business rates and insurance to agreements and utility accounts, there are several steps to complete before you can focus fully on running the business. We help new owners through that first stretch of administration, whether you have bought a restaurant, takeaway, pub, hotel, retail shop or another kind of business.

Our services include

• Business rates — the initial arrangements and documentation for non-domestic rates on your premises
• Business liability insurance — help understanding the cover a business like yours usually needs, and support with the paperwork when you arrange it
• Sale and purchase agreements — support preparing the paperwork the transaction needs, alongside your legal adviser
• Business documentation — the other forms and records that come with taking over or setting up a business
• Utilities and suppliers — setting up or transferring electricity, gas and the other accounts the premises runs on
