Terms of service

Draft for professional review. This page is a starting outline, not final legal wording. It must be reviewed and completed by a suitably qualified professional before the website goes live.

Topics the final terms should cover:

  • Who provides the services (Businova) and how to contact us.
  • That each engagement is governed by a written scope, quotation or engagement letter.
  • What is and is not included in each service.
  • That we are not a lender, lenders make their own decisions and funding is not guaranteed.
  • The basis on which we act for clients with lenders, including any commission we may receive from lenders and how it is disclosed.
  • The client's responsibility to provide accurate and complete information, and to approve returns and accounts before submission.
  • That clients remain responsible for their own tax affairs.
  • Fees, payment terms, VAT and what happens with work outside the agreed scope.
  • Ownership and use of the documents we prepare.
  • Confidentiality, data protection and anti-money-laundering checks.
  • Limits on liability and professional indemnity insurance.
  • Complaints and how to raise them.
  • Governing law.
