Business Status and Legislation

Wednesday 9th December | 10:00 – 14:00

Choosing the right legal structure is one of the most important things you will need to do when you start a business. It is imperative you choose a structure which is suited to you, your plans and business model.

As your business grows, you may decide you need to change the legal structure, so it is more flexible to meet changing business needs. Alternatively, you may find your current structure does not match your plans.

Join us in this informative and interactive workshop where you will gain an understanding of which structure is best suited to you.

You will have the opportunity get your questions answered and network and connect with like-minded business owners.


In this session you will:

  • Discover the different types of legal structure you can choose
  • Get to grips with the pros and cons of each structure
  • Understand tax and legal responsibilities
  • Develop a list of easy to use resources and automated tools to ensure your business operations are legal, decent and honest


Prepared and Delivered by:

Janice Beckles is a multi-faceted business consultant from Kent with a mission to empower people to live fulfilling and purposeful lives through personal development. Personal development is an important part of business, because you cannot change your outer world without first changing and addressing your inner dimension.

Janice started her business in May 2004 after a series of workplace redundancies. The first redundancy shook her, but she got straight back up and found another suitable job. After the second redundancy, Janice decided that it was her destiny to be a business owner, so she set up her own consultancy business, B Consultancy Ltd, providing mentoring, coaching and training. Janice is a qualified teacher, accredited coach, mentor and business advisor. In 2017 she set up an accredited Institute of Leadership and Management Training Centre.

Janice has a great deal of commercial experience and has set up and run many worthwhile projects under the B Consultancy Ltd umbrella. The project provides participants with essential tools to navigate their career, business and life.

In addition to one-to-one services, Janice undertakes a range of essential training and consultancy services with local authorities. This work includes supporting self-employed individuals and providing vital training to front line staff on how to manage people, and give them the advice that they need, with a caring and compassionate attitude so that people are not left feeling undervalued. The training that she delivers is accredited, so there is a methodological framework that she follows and many business owners that she works with want a total change of direction, and Janice coaches them through this practically.

Janice currently delivers mentoring and training to students at Newham College of Further Education, London Southbank University and Ravensbourne University.
