Legal Issues When You're No Longer A Start-Up

Without you even realising it was happening, your business has got a lot more complex. It's hard to focus on what's important because you always seem to be dealing with what's urgent. You just can't do everything yourself any more. You need more money; you need more people; you need more space.

And what about all that intellectual property you're creating? Who owns it? Should you be protecting it? What about your terms and conditions? Have you thought about tax risk – the business', and your own?

It's an exciting phase in your journey as an entrepreneur, but it can feel overwhelming. It's also the time when you may find that you have outgrown your advisers – the accountants, solicitors and business gurus who helped you get off the ground – and need more bespoke advice.
