As a startup founder or the owner of a growing SME, the reality is that legal compliance often takes a backseat. It ‘can wait’ isn’t a compliance strategy! But it is a common and unfortunate reality.
We are on a mission to resolve that. We’ve done the heavy lifting for you. This pack isn’t just a pack of templates; it’s a compliance roadmap designed by me, David, a practising UK solicitor, specifically for the Startup and SME sector.
All businesses operating in the UK must, as a matter of law, have certain legal documents in place to comply with a range of laws applicable to businesses operating in the UK. For a full explanation of the business legal requirements, read our guide.
Our free DIY compliance package enables you to meet these legal obligations. Also, our solution comes without the cost of engaging an expensive business lawyer. The package is free.
Each document template that is included in the package comes with a detailed guide that takes you through the accompanying document template in a step-by-step manner.
So, using our guides when you draft the documents from the business compliance package ensures that:
- You can create all of the legal documents that your business MUST have in place,
- but with minimal time, and
- at no cost.
Included within our free package
Our package includes the following legal document templates:
- Staff contract of employment;
- Staff GDPR privacy notices (for contractors and staff);
- Website terms of use;
- Website privacy policy (GDPR-compliant and Data Protection Act 2018 compliant);
- Health and safety policy template;
- Anti-corruption and bribery policy;
- Modern slavery policy (optional);
- Website cookies policy (included within the above privacy policy); and
- Email disclaimer statement.
Why it matters:
| Legal Template | Legal Requirement | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| S.1 Employment Contract | Employment Rights Act 1996 | Avoid “Day 1” statement penalties. |
| Website Terms & Privacy | GDPR, PECR & Consumer Contracts Regs | Protects liability and manages user data legally. |
| Health & Safety Policy | H&S at Work Act 1974 | Legal requirement; vital for insurance and duty of care. |
| Anti-Corruption & Bribery | Bribery Act / Modern Slavery Act | Shows investors and partners you operate with high integrity. |
Solicitor-drafted legal compliance
Hiring a solicitor from a law firm to draft the legal documents that your business needs would be an expensive exercise. So you could expect a law firm to charge you between £3,000 and £4,000 for all of the documents that are in our free business compliance package.
Our pack has been written by me, David, along with my Legalo co-founder, Stephen. We are both highly-experienced, practising solicitors who regularly advise businesses on the documents included within our pack.
Between us, we have over 50 years of legal practice experience. So that experience has been applied to creating our do-it-yourself compliance kit. Therefore, you can save thousands of pounds and get the Legalo advantage!
Total peace of mind
Our business compliance package may be free, but we still offer the same no-charge customer support service that we provide with our regular-priced templates. That means you can call me, Davod, via our helpline for any support when you come to put the documents in place. So this ensures total peace of mind.
For further information on the legal requirements when setting up or running a business, see the Government’s business guidance section on their website.
If you have any queries regarding our business compliance package, please contact us, as our customer support team is always on hand to assist.
