Starting a business

Are you excited to launch a new business venture? Do you love working from home, wish to spend more time with family, or want to start a side hustle? If so, contact our expert team today.

New business owners tend to wear many hats, everything from CEO to sales, marketing, customer support, financial officer and more. This is a rather daunting task, however, as you can’t be expected to know everything, and trying to solve any legal issues yourself can result in costly mistakes. In the hands of a qualified commercial lawyer, you are fully protected and can focus entirely on growing your business.

Starting a business is exciting and quite daunting, especially if you don’t know where to begin. This is where assistance from an experienced commercial lawyer can prove invaluable. Not only do they understand your business intimately, but they also help you understand business law.

At Anumis, we understand that your business is truly unique. That’s why our commercial lawyers will prepare contracts and non-disclosure agreements, negotiate commercial leases, protect your intellectual property, recommend other specialists (if required) and more.

Running a business

Going into business by yourself and being your own boss is a dream that many Australians share. However, the day-to-day running of the business is seldom as smooth as most people expect. With our help, however, you can reach your financial and career goals.

Many people mistakenly believe that running a business takes nothing more than hard work. Make no mistake, hard work is absolutely vital. However, it also takes meticulous planning, research and professional guidance to ensure your venture succeeds.

To sustain a successful business, the Anumis Legal team will help you fulfil the following legal considerations:

Obligations

Do you need to hold particular permits or licences? Do you have a duty of care, skill or diligence? Our Commercial lawyers will help you identify and fulfil your obligations, based on the structure and nature of your business.

Proper documentation and contracts

Litigation is generally the result of incorrectly interpreted contracts or disobeyed terms and conditions. To avoid this, you need a solid contract to deal with suppliers, customers and property/asset purchases or sales.

IP protection

We’ll ensure your business idea is legally protected. For your business, intellectual property protection involves safeguarding your business name, domain, brand and any products/services and/or any innovative processes you have created. We handle all facets of copyright, trademark, design and IP searches and audits.

Employees

When hiring employees, we’ll ensure all legal obligations are met. Including:

  • Paying correct wages
  • Reimbursing for work-related expenses
  • Providing a safe environment
  • Providing Workers Compensation insurance for every employee
  • Not damaging your employees’ reputation, trust or confidence
  • Forwarding PAYG tax instalments to the ATO and more.

Our Anumis Legal Family Law team will explain your rights, and help you to move forward. Call Nadine Love or Dr John Cronin on 07 5455 6347 or email admin@anumis.com.au for your complimentary chat and with our Sunshine Coast Commercial Lawyers!

Selling a business

Whether you’re retiring or starting a new chapter, selling your business can be complex. Handing over your business to a new owner involves several crucial steps for a smooth transition. These include drafting contracts, contract reviews, performing due diligence and handling negotiations, exchanges and final settlements.

The good news is, this process is no longer a headache. Simply discuss your needs with our legal team and we’ll help guide you through every step.

Along with the business itself, the transaction often involves selling a variety of assets. This is especially the case for those selling physical goods. Most often, the assets which go along with the business sale are licences, supplier contracts, real property (i.e. commercial leases on buildings, etc.) and intellectual property rights (i.e. copyrights and trademarks on inventions and processes).

Finalising the business sale is a rather difficult process. After agreeing on sale terms with your buyer, you are required to complete the formalities of signing the contract(s) (i.e. exchange) and completing the transaction (i.e. settlement). Rest assured, though, that you do not have to go through this process alone. Our experienced team of commercial lawyers are well-versed in every aspect of the business sale process.

Merging a business

Are you attempting to further your business’ reach, gain more market share or expand into new areas? If so, it may be time to consider merging with another business. In simple terms, a merger is a binding agreement between two companies to “merge” into one entity. Merging businesses are relatively equal regarding their size, scale of operations and customer base.

While very profitable, a merger can be quite complex. That’s why we’ll guide you through every step of the process. We’ll help you build strong relationships with everyone involved, including accountants, consultants, directors and others. This way, the entire merger, from due diligence through to completion will be as smooth as possible.

How we can help you merge your business

Our lawyers assist you during every stage of the merger, including:

Z

Advising you on the commercial, legal and strategic aspects of the transaction

Z

Helping you structure the transaction

Z

Negotiating the agreement on your behalf

Z

Creating the sale documents

Z

Ensuring you achieve your desired outcome

A business merger is an area of law that extends to the board level. As such, every facet of the process must be handled with expert care and attention, which our highly specialised commercial lawyers can provide.
