Legal 

We’re going to start by taking a look at legal services. Unless you have trained in law, you don’t know what you need to know, and that means you need to get a business lawyer on side as soon as possible. Hire someone on retainer to ensure that you have them when you need them, and that you don’t have to wait hours, days or weeks for legal advice when it’s a pressing concern.

In the beginning stages, you need a lawyer to help you navigate the legalities of setting up your business, making sure that you have the right permits and licenses etc. It’s imperative that you do this otherwise you could end up facing a fine, or worse, your business could be shut down.

Marketing

A huge area of your business is marketing and it is essential you get this right from the start. Without the right marketing, you can say goodbye to welcoming new customers through your doors or onto your website. If you don’t have the time or experience to manage this yourself then you can work with an agency who will do all the legwork for you. Alternatively, you could hire your very own marketing team who will know exactly what your business needs. They could manage social media and video marketing on your company site. 

IT

Finally, did you know that there is a cyber attack on businesses every 20 seconds? If this figure shocks you then that is what you need, protecting your business should be at the forefront of your mind. If you aren’t able to protect your customers confidential information yourself then make sure there are IT services that do it for you. They will monitor your systems and alert you to anything sinister that is going on.

Blocking cyber attacks is their main goal and the best companies out there do it so well. Make sure you check reviews before signing up to any services, the last thing you want is a dodgy company looking after you.
