Take control of your contracts


For any ambitious business, the contracts you sign define your customer and supplier relationships.  When all is going well that much discussed document will be gathering dust in your filing cabinet.  But if the terms of the deal ever come into question it soon becomes a vital point of reference and ultimately could be argued over in court. 

A small amount of time and money invested at the outset getting the right contract agreed, could prevent a far higher expenditure and wasted management time later on. 

But how can you ensure the contract works in your best interest?

Does your stationary break the rules?

A company letterhead speaks volumes about a business, its brand, and the market in which it operates.  But aside from worrying about the colour of the paper and the style of logo there are strict rules that require all companies and LLP’s to provide specific information.

Obviously the company’s name should appear but the company’s registration number needs to be there as well.  Less well known is that recent changes require a company’s place of registration to appear as well, such as England and Wales.
