The reality is that starting and successfully running a business is not easy.
Small mistakes can lead to considerable legal problems. Large national or multinational companies have an in-house legal team, but small and medium-sized businesses rarely have the resources to protect themselves from litigation that can have devastating consequences.
Ryder Lawyers can assist you with small business matters including
- Business Contracts, including the Purchase or Sale of Businesses
- Commercial Contracts
- Real Estate and Commercial leasing law and legal advice to small businesses
- Business Succession and Asset Protection
- Advising on Franchise Agreements
Working with our team will help to protect you from problems that may arise, from ensuring contracts are complete to negotiating leases. Often business owners feel they have to carry the entire burden themselves and drown under the weight of responsibility.
Ryder Lawyers are commercial lawyers here to help small business owners with advice and guidance. In addition to advising you, we can assist you in the following areas:
Growing your business
It’s time to expand, which may mean moving to larger premises, signing contracts, changing the structure or anything else.
Make sure you are prepared for it. Talk to a commercial lawyer before you take any significant steps in your business. This can make the difference between a company that grows and innovates and one that never reaches its full potential.
Buying and selling a business
Whether you are looking to sell or buy a business, the team at Ryder Lawyers will ensure that the company is transferred safely and efficiently and that it is well-structured to protect your interests in the future.
Commercial agreements
Commercial agreements primarily govern commercial relationships, and you must obtain proper advice before signing on the dotted line. Have you signed the contract yet?
The experienced team at Ryder Lawyers can review your agreement and advise you on where you stand.
Franchise Agreements and Contracts
Ryder Lawyers has the experience to find the right solution to your franchise needs, whether you are a franchisee or franchisor and need advice on your rights and obligations.
If you are thinking of buying a franchise or want to convert your business into a franchise, we can help.
Commercial Property
Commercial property or commercial leasing involves the purchase or sale of commercial premises, including offices, shops, industrial properties and shopping centers.
Our commercial conveyancing lawyers handle every step of the transaction, from reviewing the contract and associated documents, commercial lease advice, preparing the sale and purchase documents for execution and conducting and reviewing searches through to completion. Our goal is to ensure that the transaction process is done as smoothly as possible for you while making sure that your rights and obligations under the contract terms are fulfilled and respected.
Structuring the company
Professional advice on company structuring is essential when starting a new company or restructuring a growing business. A business can face many negative repercussions if it is not handled with the right expertise in the early stages. These effects can be financially devastating and sometimes irrecoverable.
Our commercial lawyers at Ryder Lawyers can help you lay the foundations for a successful, sustainable, profitable business venture and will work in with your accountant with their tax advice and suggestions that relate to your business structure.
