Born, educated, qualified in England, however, my attention has always been focused on, and inspired by, the growth and success of business in America.
Watching Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg take a cool $5bn data breach hit last year and continue growth like he had an itch, was jaw dropping. I cannot think of many UK business founders that could survive such a monumental fine for breach of privilege.
Over the past 20 years, we have witnessed so many quality British brands fail whilst the rise of the tech giants from the US West coast succeed, exploiting the vulnerabilities of young and old through social media and gaming. This growth pattern has no let up and will affect generations of habitual consumers – the ultimate business model for any savvy investor. The cash keeps rolling.
We, as owners of our business communities, are ultimately responsible not only for having the right skills and resources to supply, lend, borrow, rent, contribute, employ, train, support, lead and grow, we also have a responsibility to succeed.
In 2005, I trained in a solicitors’ practice on Epping high street, supporting local business owners in their day to day business matters and legal affairs. Since moving on and working with the Global business elite, I realise there is so much room for legal services improvement for business of all sizes, maturity, and markets.
Newboulds holds no client cash, we have never had a claim made against us. Our security is high, our costs low and technology platform potential rich.
We are ready to compete and want our customers to have the most successful businesses (online and offline), not only in the UK, but the world.
Working through the COVID-19 lockdown, many of us have realised the power of business online and how easy this reality can be for ourselves. We all long for a better quality of life, to spend less money on trains and more time at home, be able to travel abroad twice a year and have security in our later years. Not much to ask, but there are no guarantees.
The Newboulds Solicitors online legal protection programme is set up to support and empower your business no matter what stage you are at or where you are located. We work as a group, and model on the most successful businesses in the US.
No matter what anyone says, America is leagues ahead of the UK when it comes to online business, digital marketing, exponential growth, supporting one another and learning.
Operating under English law, Newboulds can give your business both affordable access to justice and legal support for a fixed monthly fee, whilst we focus on the main aim of your business growth and success.
My firm believes in progress, and I believe in you. The sooner we all drive more sustainable business opportunities across the UK together the better. Let us all be the ultimate responsible business owners this country needs.
