Three journeys, in the order of the decisions
A project, a creation, a sale: each journey gives the steps, the price and the lead time of each one.
01
The three journeys
-
01
Launching your project
The name, the structure, the contracts, the data, the first unpaid invoice: five decisions in order.
-
02
Protecting your work
Trade mark, design, copyright, domain name: four protections, four costs.
-
03
Selling your company
What a buyer looks at first in a technology SME, and the deeds of completion day.
02
The one that concerns you
-
You are starting a business, or growing one
The name, the structure, the contracts, the data, the first unpaid invoice.
-
You have created something and you fear it will be taken
Trade mark, design, copyright, domain name.
-
You are selling, raising, or handing over
What a buyer looks at first, and the deeds signed on completion day.
03
What a journey holds
-
The steps in the order they arise
One legal decision calls the next. Filing the trade mark before the packaging goes to print saves reprinting the packaging.
-
The price of each step
Every act is costed from the firm's published fee schedule, with official fees kept separate from professional fees.
-
What you can do without a lawyer
Some steps you can take yourself. The journey says so when that is the case, instead of putting everything on one invoice.
Forty-five minutes to scope the matter, €120 excl. VAT
-
A 45-minute video call, prepaid.
-
A written report in five points within 24 working hours: the problem as you put it, the options, my recommendation, the budget for what follows, the timing.
-
If you instruct me within 30 days, the €120 is deducted from the fee.
