Buying or Selling a Business

This is an area that can be quite complex, and full of possible traps if you are not aware of all the issues.

We can assist with negotiating and writing sale and purchase agreements for businesses or shares and we have vast experience in drafting special conditions for different scenarios.

If the business is premise based, there will be personal guarantees, lease approvals and assignments to consider, another specialist area that can be hard to negotiate through.

Other issues we can identify and assist with include:

• Vendor finance
• Purchase funding structure
• Business ownership structure
• Due diligence
• Conditions
• Restraint of trade on vendor
• Settlement process
