Your Business Questions Answered
1. Why do I need legal support if I’m just starting out?
Even small mistakes in contracts, registrations, or compliance can cost you time, money, and credibility. Cream Legal helps you lay a solid legal foundation so your business can grow confidently and avoid future legal issues.
2. Do I need a lawyer to register a company in South Africa?
No, but working with a legal consultant ensures you register your business correctly the first time, with the right structure, shareholders, and documents in place to avoid future complications, especially if you plan to expand, apply for funding, or onboard partners.
3. Can Cream Legal help me recover unpaid invoices?
Yes. We offer contract enforcement support and legal letters of demand. If necessary, we guide you through mediation or small claims court to recover your funds without expensive litigation.
4. What does conveyancing support include?
We assist with reviewing and drafting sale agreements, lease contracts, and liaising with registered conveyancing attorneys to ensure your property transactions (buying, selling, leasing) are legally sound and meet local requirements.
5. What’s the difference between a contract template and a custom contract?
Templates are general and may not reflect the unique risks or terms of your business. A custom contract from Cream Legal protects your specific interests, aligns with South African law, and covers potential disputes before they happen.
6. I’m a foreign national running a business in South Africa. Can you help?
Absolutely. Cream Legal specialises in supporting foreign-owned businesses. We assist with company registration, compliance, legal documentation, and linking your business affairs with your immigration status.
7. How much do your services cost?
We offer transparent, upfront pricing tailored to each service. Whether you’re looking for once-off support or ongoing legal help, we’ll provide a quote based on your business size and needs. Contact us for a custom consultation.
8. Do you offer legal training or workshops for teams?
Yes. We provide custom legal education sessions for startups, NGOs, and teams, covering contracts, compliance, legal literacy for entrepreneurs and more. These can be hosted online or in-person.
9. Can Cream Legal help me draft employment contracts and policies?
Yes. We provide legally compliant employment contracts, NDAs, and internal policies tailored to your industry and team size. This protects both you and your employees while aligning with South African labour laws.
10. What industries do you work with?
Cream Legal supports clients across various industries, including consulting, retail, tech, transport, hospitality, education, and more. Whether you’re a startup, freelancer, NGO, or foreign-owned company, we tailor legal solutions to fit your business model.
