Other bespoke business services provided by Richard Riley and Associates
At Richard Riley and Associates we offer a range of services to help you grow your business successfully.
Legal Services
We have partnered with a corporate law firm who can assist with various areas of business including drawing up legal agreements.
When starting up a business with three or more people, it is essential to have a shareholders agreement in place. This document serves as a critical reference for future events such as selling the business, determining dividend distribution, and outlining procedures in the event of a shareholder or director’s death or loss of capacity. Formalising these details early on can prevent conflicts and provide clarity. Additionally, it is wise to consider insurance to cover payouts to the descendants of a deceased shareholder.
From a legal perspective, it is also important to establish agreements with suppliers and letters of engagement for clients. These documents provide clear points of reference in case of disagreements over the services being provided or received, ensuring smooth business operations and minimising potential disputes.
Our legal partner can also oversee probate work.
HR Services
Our trusted HR partner can assist you with HR matters. From an HR perspective, once you start employing people and adding them to your payroll, they begin to accrue employment rights. To protect both your business and your employees, it is essential to have a proper employment contract in place for each worker.
Additionally, an employee handbook is necessary, outlining key policies such as Health & Safety, grievance procedures, and details about sickness benefits. This handbook serves as a comprehensive guide for employees, ensuring they understand their rights and responsibilities. It also provides you with a valuable reference point in the event of any disputes, demonstrating that clear guidelines were provided from the start.
Even if your business is small, having these documents in place is important for maintaining a fair and legally compliant workplace, promoting a positive working environment, and mitigating potential conflicts.
Marketing Services
We can put you in touch with a trusted partner for your marketing services. Whether you need assistance designing a website for your business or some guidance on branding, we can introduce you to specialists with the know-how to support you in these areas.
IT Services
We collaborate with IT professionals who can ensure your IT systems are secure and run smoothly day to day. They can also make sure you have the right back ups in place so you have a peace of mind that your data can be recovered in the event of a primary data failure caused by hardware or software failure, data corruption, or a malicious virus or malware attack.
