Supporting Small Businesses

Supporting Small Businesses – at home and at work

Pictons provides a wide ranging support package for its small business clients. We appreciate that for small business owners work and personal issues are often closely intertwined. Support for SME’s is at the very heart of our business.

SME businesses are typically owner-managed and can have a strong family involvement which further dictates a much more holistic approach to managing legal needs.

Directors may be related which can pose legal challenges when it comes to reflecting wishes for a business in a will, when couples separate, employment status

We know that funding for new business start-ups or renewing or extending financing can place a strong link between a business and personal assets, so we work closely with the business owners to ensure their interests are reflected in financial agreements.

We work alongside business owners during all the stages in the development of their business from formation, growth through to divestment, merger and exit. Underpinning this is the support we provide for their personal legal needs which in many ways provides a bedrock for the business.

Many commercial firms are unable to provide the breadth of personal legal services we provide for small businesses, or are perhaps aiming at larger organisations, whilst smaller legal practices may not be able support aspects of commercial law.

In short we are the go-to firm for small business owners.
