Setup

You’ve spent the last decade (or more) working in a lab on research, development and synthesis, leading to a trailblazing product for the life sciences that you want to share. So, now what?

Are you a scientist who excels in your field but has little to no experience in running a life sciences company? Have you made a major development but found yourself Googling “how to start a life science company”? Or are you a skilled all-rounder who, amid the finalising and finessing of your biotech discovery, is simply just strapped for time?

Either way, we’re here to help – whether it’s moving the next medical breakthrough into clinical trials, commercialising your product, or helping you to build your small business idea from the ground up. 

With more than 15 years spent helping life sciences businesses reach their goals, at ScaleX Consulting our team of business experts is ready to identify, prioritise, and support your specific business management needs.

Writing staff contracts? Investigating a grievance? Making redundancies? If you’re in the middle of a HR issue, then you know that there are a lot of employment laws involved. You may think you need to call a solicitor, but honestly – you don’t. Using ScaleX’s HR+ Service, you’ll ensure the right decisions and processes are put into place when and where they need to be. You can trust us to build an agile HR infrastructure in your organisation that poises you for growth.

7. Finance & Accounts

Biotech and life sciences organisations have complex accounting needs that require flexible solutions, all delivered by our qualified finance team. Our cloud accounting is ideal for the complex needs of biotech companies at every stage of growth, from two scientists and a molecule, to scaling companies looking to go public.  

8. Health & Safety

8. Health & Safety

A lot rests on your health & safety policies. Without the right training and experience, it’s easy to miss risks and hazards. And as well as the potential impact on your bottom line, you must be 100% confident that people are protected. Our highly-accredited and well respected health and safety consultants are able to deliver a range of health and safety related services.  

Tailored for success

We recognise no company is the same, which is why our Setup business package can be entirely tailored according to your needs. If you’ve already started setting up your life sciences company we’ll take the time to identify the most efficient and effective route forward – starting with a FULL business audit to spot where the gaps are.

If you are just starting out, a strategy for your life sciences business that covers all the bases is essential – especially if you know you’re going to eventually want to impress investors. Get ahead of R&D productivity pressure, tightening regulations, scientific innovation and the demands of the consumer market by getting your business off on the right foot – thinking carefully about your goals and priorities.
