Who We Are
The IASSE, Innovation Advisory Service South East was formed in 1997 to act as a support network for new and exisiting businesses in the South East of England. We are partnered with various government and private organisations in the UK and Worldwide such as the British Insurance and Investment Brokers' Association and the AAT. We are also connected with the Business support, information and advice Business Link.
Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership (either formed with or without limited liability). Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent and complying with certain other ongoing obligations. The relationships and legal rights of shareholders, limited partners, or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized. Generally speaking, shareholders in a corporation, limited partners in a limited partnership, and members in a limited liability company are shielded from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate "person." This means that unless there is misconduct, the owner's own possessions are strongly protected in law, if the business does not succeed.
