Helium Law helps VOG Brewery create valuable revenue stream with 70% savings

Vale of Glamorgan (VOG) Brewery Boosts Revenue with Helium.Law

The Brief

Like many craft brewers and 90% of SMEs, Craig at VOG Brewery had found lawyers to be an expensive luxury.

When VOG identified an opportunity to grow a new revenue and guarantee product quality, by connecting distribution agreements with draught equipment leases the idea of improving their beer quality at the bar and building stronger supplier partnerships, all they needed was the right legal framework to protect their investment. 

Getting it wrong would put thousands of pounds of expensive, specialist equipment at risk but  traditional lawyers were expecting to charge thousands for a complex, specialist. It was a big risk to invest that kind of money in a new venture for a craft brewery.

When Craig found Helium Law he like the proposition of low cost legal support with quality advice checked by a senior UK lawyer at 70% lower costs. A week and just £500 later, he had a comprehensive agreement in place for installing and maintaining equipment to dispense VOGs beer in pristine condition. 

Our Approach:

Our Senior UK Lawyer took the brief and identified the best approach to create an Equipment Lease and Supply Agreement covering equipment and materials supply, installation, maintenance and specific customer responsibilities. Using top quality, industry standard legal templates we were able to quickly adapt them to fit the VOG brief and ensure a comprehensive, up to date agreement.

The project was managed efficiently through the Helium platform, which captured the brief clearly, tracked lawyer tasks by the minute, stored and organised all the documents required and saved time with frictionless Stripe billing and payments. 

Results:

By combining a concise brief, transparent platform and streamlined processes with Helium’s lean overheads and low hourly rates, our experienced lawyer was able to deliver a tailored agreement and best in class client service for under £500 - dramatically cheaper than traditional lawyers. 

"Helium helped us get our distribution agreement in place quickly and much more cheaply than other law firms quoted us. Now we can sell more delicious beer! Thanks!" Craig - Director, Vale of Glamorgan Brewery

Conclusion:

By leveraging Helium's intelligent platform, efficient processes and smart legal team, we helped Craig and the VOG Brewery unlock a whole new revenue stream and build profitable, long term partnerships with the pubs they supplied. Best of all, we helped VOG ensure top quality pints of carefully brewed VOG beer with a 70% saving on legal costs.

We can all drink to that!
