Buying or Selling a Business

Whether selling or buying a business, we will engage in negotiations on your behalf to ensure your interests are well protected. If you are a Seller, among other things, you will want to ensure all future liabilities connected with the business is transferred to the Buyer. The Buyer on the other hand will want to ensure all past liabilities remain with the Seller and that restrictions are in place preventing the Seller from setting up a competitive business or poaching staff. In most cases business transfers include the sale / purchase of a property or assignment of a lease and we are also able to deal with this on your behalf.

There are various other issues involved in the transfer of a business, including how employees of the business are to be dealt with, stock transfer, assignment of the good will of the business, third party contracts and licences. We have the expertise and experience required to achieve a successful completion of your transaction
