When starting a business, taking care of the legal aspects are placed on the back burner. However, there are risks in failing to ensure your business is legally compliant.

Selecting a business structure is one of the most important decisions you will make. Not only will this decision have an impact on how much you pay in taxes, but it will affect the amount of paperwork your business is required to do, the personal liability you face and your ability to raise money to finance your business.

As your business starts growing it can become very complicated to change its structure.

At Xellerate, we provide a range of business setup services, including registering your company, reserving your company name, drafting the Memorandum of Incorporation and Shareholders Agreement. We will ensure that the correct business structure is in place from the outset.

Protect what’s precious.

It is important to understand what your intellectual property rights are and how to protect them. Your intellectual property is what sets you apart from other businesses. It includes your trademark, the look and feel of your product, slogan and copyright.

Think NIKE (the trademark) and JUST DO IT (the slogan). It sets the brand apart from its competitors and it is the most important asset of the business.

Think copyright in software and ensuring that your copyright is protected.

At Xellerate, we provide a wide range of intellectual property services, including conducting Trademark Registrability Searches, Trademark Registrations, drafting IP Assignment Agreements, IP Licensing Agreements and more.
