By Walter Powell


Most graduates usually are stranded after graduating. Some start looking for jobs while others opt to open their own firms. Both options are good provided you know what you want. If you do not like being employed, you can decide to start your private practice. If this is the road you are taking, make sure you know all the aspects that are involved in starting a company. You should also weigh all the options before you set up the company so that it does not fail. Follow the guide below if you want to be among those who have their own BVI law firms.

Since this will be a company like any other company, the setup process will be the same. You should start by selecting a name for your company. This name will be your identity, and it should be original and related to the services you offer. Therefore, think of the best name that your company will be identified with.

After that, you have to find a good place to locate the business. An office is necessary for this kind of a company. If you do not have enough money at the moment, you can start by using your home as an office. You can then shift to a better location once you become financially stable. Ensure that you select a good and competent town for the business so that you can get clients.

With a name and a location for the business, you should now start thinking about meeting the legal requirements. These involve looking for permits from your state government. You will also need an employer identification number for the business. This is mandatory and must be met. Insurance is also mandatory to protect the company in case of damages and theft.

After meeting all the legal requirements, think about the office equipment and furniture. The office will need comfortable office chairs, desks, cabinets and electronics. Thus, ensure that you have bought all the equipment that is required for the office to operate. You can decide to buy one item at a time if your budget is tight. That is why you should have the capital to set up this kind of company.

Even if you think that you can run the business alone, you will find a hard time trying o manage everything. You cannot receive calls and files and still talk to clients at the same time. Also, you may need to go on errands, and this may not be possible if you are alone. That is why you need helpers in the office.

You will also need a library for the company. Law requires a lot of reading and being up to date. Hence, it is wise to set up a library, however small, for the company. This is also a costly venture that one must be ready for regarding time and money.

The last thing that you should do is looking for a reliable supplier to be supplying you with office materials. You will need printing/photocopy papers, pens, files, staplers, file folders, punches, rubber bands, etc. Make sure you find a supplier that will be willing to supply the materials to you at a reasonable price.
