This checklist highlights some of the key issues from the Pre-Budget Report that are likely to have an impact on small businesses.
Companies Act 2006 – Company Constitution - Checklist of Issues for Companies
The final sections of the Companies Act 2006 (the new Act) came into force on 1 October 2009. Many of these provisions affect company constitutions. Below is a guide to some of the changes that come into force on 1 October which affect a company’s articles of association and those matters which companies incorporated before this date (existing companies) should consider.
Rising Popularity of Pre-Packs
Whilst not novel, the use of “Pre-Packs” as a means of selling the business or assets of a failing company is increasing in popularity. This is the process under which a buyer is lined up to acquire a struggling business before it is put into administration. Immediately on, or shortly after, the appointment of the administrator, the company’s business is sold to the buyer on the terms previously agreed.
Online Contracts : Know Your Rights and Obligations
Online retailing continues to grow. According to recent online sales figures, we are increasingly turning to the internet to buy and sell our goods and services. This is in stark contrast to the fortunes of some of the more established high street retailers, where there have been a number of high profile (and lesser known) casualties in recent months.
Redundancy – Challenges for Employers
As the economy slows, cutting costs is of concern for all organisations. One way to cut overheads is to reduce the workforce and implement compulsory redundancies.
If you are a business and are owed money by an individual a new Practice Direction has been introduced from 6 April 2009 which provides for certain information to be made available when chasing a debt.
The Companies Act 2006 (“the Act”) was introduced to modernise company law and is being brought into force in stages. The majority of the Act is now in force but the majority of the remaining implementation will occur on 1 October 2009.
Changes to Holiday Entitlements
Since 1 October 2007 all workers have had a statutory right to at least 4.8 weeks paid annual leave. This means if a worker worked five days per week, they were entitled to 24 days paid holiday per year
