Local Law Services in East Sussex

Red House Consultancy

I’m Tim Ball, founder of Red House Consultancy. I provide local law services in East Sussex, for busy owners and directors who want fast, practical answers.

I specialise in business law for SMEs, including contracts, deals, joint ventures, restructurings, construction, insolvency, and Terms and Conditions, translating legalese into plain English and giving you clear next steps.

Based in Rushlake Green, in between Heathfield and Hailsham, here’s how my legal services cover the whole of East Sussex, and can help your business thrive, grow, and stay protected:

Joint Venture & Shareholder Agreements

Strong joint venture and shareholder agreements prevent future friction. The service sets out who can decide what, how money is put in, and what happens if founders leave. Rights to force or join a sale (drag/tag) are explained in everyday language, alongside buy-back routes and fair exit terms. Voting thresholds, board rules and dividend policy are built to match the plan for growth.

Corporate Reorganisations & Restructuring

Orderly corporate reorganisations & restructuring make the business easier to run, fund or sell. Step plans are created for moving assets, merging entities or simplifying debt, with minutes, stock transfers and Companies House filings handled on time. Where creditors are involved, communications are managed calmly and lawfully. The outcome of corporate reorganisations & restructuring is a cleaner, future-ready, HMRC-approved structure.

Smaller Company Sales & Acquisitions

The smaller company sales & acquisitions service keeps deals moving while protecting value. Work starts with clear heads of terms (a simple outline), then a focused document check so surprises surface early. Purchase agreements are drafted and negotiated with plain-English explanations of key promises, protections and limits on losses. A practical disclosure letter and tidy completion pack follow, so small company sales & acquisitions finish cleanly. Expect a short report, a priority list for negotiations and a timetable everyone can follow.

Corporate Insolvency Issues

When pressure builds, corporate insolvency issues need clear, fast steps. Directors’ duties are explained in practical terms, alongside the cash-flow and balance-sheet tests. Options are set out without drama – payment plans, refinancing, a company voluntary arrangement, administration or an accelerated sale. Lender and creditor communications are coordinated to preserve goodwill. The aim of corporate insolvency issues support is simple: protect the viable core of the business, jobs and reputation while control is regained.

Terms & Conditions of Trade

Well-built terms & conditions of trade help sales complete smoothly and reduce disputes. The service defines the order process, delivery, returns and when the risk in goods passes. Warranties, remedies and fair limits on liability are matched to pricing and insurance. Payment terms and late-payment interest are written so they actually work. For online services, subscriptions, renewals and data use are covered in a friendly, transparent way.

Compliance note

Red House Consultancy is not a regulated law firm and does not carry out reserved legal activities such as court litigation, conveyancing or probate. Where reserved work is needed, a Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) regulated firm is introduced to handle that element. Red House Consultancy remains involved on the commercial side to coordinate documents and keep momentum.
