Why Your Business Needs a Lawyer

Starting a business is stressful, and no more so than in the early days. In the opening stages of running your own business, you’re laying the foundations of something you hope will grow and grow for years. Making a mistake at this key stage could have terrible consequences, not the day after, or the week after, but months or years down the road.

It’s important to make sure that when you set up your business that you have the right structure to grow; are registered in the right category to accurately describe what you do to avoid incorrect charges and taxes; and are also compliant with all aspects of business law.

One of the people who can best help you with this is a good business lawyer. You may be able to find one on the high street in the town where you work, especially if you have a good professional network who can recommend someone specific to you. Another option is to look for an online law firm: you may find this more convenient and cheaper, which is definitely a consideration in your busy and budget conscious early days.

A lawyer can help guide you through the process of setting up your business to ensure you lay the optimal foundations for your future success. They’re also useful to keep in contact with: As you secure your premises, your raw materials or products and your staff, having a lawyer available to review their contracts will make sure you get the best deal and avoid nasty surprises later. If you haven’t had a lawyer review your contract you might find that when you come to rely on a clause later, it doesn’t protect you in the way you thought it did.

If a lawyer is involved in your contract drafting and review process you can be assured that the contracts you’re creating accurately describe and enforce the terms you need, and also that you understand the contracts you are signing. For example, when you are signing the lease on your premises, a lawyer can review that contract and ensure you are getting all the use out of the building that you need: that there are no restrictions or additional responsibilities falling to you that limit your ability to use the premises in the way you need.

This means that you can start running your confident that everything is set up just as you need it to make a success of your new venture.

Social Care: A Growing Industry

If you’re thinking about social care, whether you’re considering training for the first time, or in the middle of your career and looking for new social care jobs you must wonder about the state of the sector. It’s often talked about as being overburdened, or under resourced, but social work is the hidden engine of our aging nation, there has never been a better time to commit to it.

Experts estimate that adult and child social care add around £50 billion to the UK economy in wages, supplies and even profits. If you factor in the additional value added by relieving the burden on family members to allow them to work and support themselves, and ushering children through the care system and into society it’s value is incalculable.

The UK has an aging population, so in the next decade, more and more resources will have to be devoted to caring for the aged who are no longer able to care for themselves. This doesn’t just mean more traditional carers. This opens the door for new innovative kinds of occupational therapy and people delivering workshops to help make sure those in care homes aren’t left isolated and bored: art and drama therapy groups, even ceramics can help to boost the quality of immeasurably for the elderly, even those requiring full time care.

This also creates opportunities for social carers in rural communities: social funding is traditionally concentrated on big cities, but there are aging populations in need of care right across the country, including smaller towns and villages that don’t normally figure on budgetary agendas. David Powell’s report calls for more localised funding that wouldn’t just ensure provision of care for the elderly away from urban centres, but also lead to an economic regeneration in the isolated, rural areas that are so in need of it.

Funding initiatives like ‘Community Catalysts’ in Somerset point the way forward to how local schemes that serve the needs of the community and build on its strengths can attract the money needed to get off the ground. It’s entrepreneurial ‘social start ups’ like this that point the way forward to a bold and exciting future for the social services in these otherwise embattled times.

If you grew up in a rural community and are considering social work, this could be the best time and get in on the ground floor of the coming revolution.
