Start-Up Packages

Set your business up properly - and make sure it’s ready to operate from day one.

Starting a business involves more than just “registering a company”. Getting the right legal foundations in place early helps prevent disputes, reduce risk and position your business to grow properly.

We offer two fixed-fee packages – one focused on getting your foundations right, and the other providing a complete, ready-to-operate legal framework.

Start-Up Packages - Lay Law
Tier 01

What's included
  • Company registration (incl. name reservation and standard MOI)
  • Share certificates and share register
  • Initial resolutions and statutory setup
  • Beneficial Ownership documents preparation and filing
