Buying an existing small business
Aug 17 2005
Some initial assistance as to how to proceed and what you need to find out may be obtainable via the following websites:
Business Link, which gives practical advice for businesses - www.businesslink.gov.uk
UK Trade and Investment, which is a government organization helping international businesses to realize their potential - www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk
However, for more detailed advice, the best starting point would be to make contact with an English solicitor and/or an English accountant for advice. To find an English lawyer a useful website would be www.lawsociety.org.ukome.law, there are also separate sites for Scotland and Ireland.
