Business Audit

We carry out business audits examining and advising on a wide range of issues including

• Terms and conditions of business.
• Terms and conditions are crucial to any business and it is extremely important that they are tailored to each particular type of business.
• Some of the more crucial terms and conditions to be aware of are:
1. Making sure to include an effective retention of title clause to state that title to the goods only passes to the customer when payment is received in full.
2. It should be clear from the conditions that risk to the goods shall pass to the customer upon delivery.
3. The terms should contain a complaints policy.
4. It should be clear that the price will be the supplier's relevant trade price at the date of order and the clause should also deal with VAT.
5. The terms should set out clearly the payment arrangement between parties and deal with the interest payable for late payment.

Shareholders agreements / Partnership agreements

It is important to have in place agreements to regulate the important issues in relation to owning a company or business. We can examine any existing agreements in place and if necessary advise on any suitable changes that may be required. It is importaint to note that these agreements do not have to be particularly complicated but should cover a number of basic issues which we can discuss with you.

Trademarks, copyrights and patents.

Often the intellectual property of a business can be one of it's most valuable assets. It is therefore very important to ensure you adequately protect your intellectual property and/or the name of your business. This may involve obtaining a patent, registering a trademark or ensuring you have copyright over your work. We can provide you with advice in relation to these areas.
