Company formation

Forming a company is the first step you will make as a prospective business owner.

Making sure the company is properly formed is important. Our Solicitors at Burton & Co have advised and helped companies take this first step and often find that they remain instructed by that business as it progresses.

Our Solicitors will help and advise you on the most appropriate steps to form your company, whether you wish to be a private or public limited company, a limited liability partnership, a traditional partnership or just a sole trader. We take the information you have and advise you which process is best for you, depending on the details and complexity of your chosen business model. If you want us to manage this process for you, our experienced lawyers are able to do this.
