I've never heard of Business Link. Since you have, have you consulted with them?
Business Link [1] are not solicitors. They are a government agency set
up to "help your business save time and money by giving you instant
access to clear, simple, and trustworthy information."
They are a *very* *very* useful resource, just their online planning
tools alone are worth days of scratching heads. To be honest I'm
surprised that nobody here has suggested working with them until now.
I'd suggest that each board member meets their local advisor (since it's
done regionally) and then you compare notes on who you think is the most
appropriate.
Going back to the subject, they are *not* solicitors, but they are able
to provide links to important resources, people and sources of grants
for start-up costs - such as solicitors.

Thanks for that information. It sounds like they play a similar role
for businesses as the Charity Commission does for charities. Several
people on this list have already contacted the Charity Commission for
advice on various issues. It may be a good idea to contact Business
Link as well.
