Who is Sparqa Legal’s online lawyer service for?
Sparqa Legal is for anyone starting or managing a business that wants straightforward, affordable and reliable legal guidance.
Our content and documents are tailored for small businesses to larger corporates in England and Wales. Sparqa Legal covers everything from incorporating a company to dealing with HR issues and conducting marketing.
Many of the SMEs we support are early stage and ‘Mom and Pop’ type businesses which would need some basic legal services from the get-go. For example, we provide the legal documents needed for a new website (Privacy Policy), T&Cs for selling online, a shareholders agreement or business partnership agreement for setting up a new business with a friend.
Over 90% of our companies are micro-businesses which are less than 10 people in size – many of which are sole-traders and freelancers. The site and content has a number of sections and documents geared for these types of businesses. Our online legal lawyer service is industry agnostic but a large chunk of our clients are tech, agency and business administration firms.
