Business Start Ups

Starting a business is an exciting journey, but getting the foundations right is key.

In the early stages, it might be tempting to cut costs on legal advice, but setting up your business correctly from the start can save time, money, and stress in the long run. Choosing the right structure—whether as a sole trader, partnership, or company—can have significant implications, and we work closely with your accountant to ensure everything is set up properly.

At Backhouse Jones, our corporate team is here to help. We have extensive experience advising start-ups in the bus, coach, and HGV sectors and will work with you to get your business running smoothly from day one.
