Buying or Selling a Business
You should understand your rights and obligations when buying and selling a business, as well as the potential risks of the transaction. We have the expertise and experience to assist you to ensure that you are fully informed each step of the way.
The complexity of buying and selling a business depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
- The nature of the industry in which the business operates
- The size of the business
- The location of the business (whether the property is leased or purchased)
- Employees
- Intellectual property rights related to the business
- The operation of the business
We strongly recommend that you consult with us before buying or selling a business so that we can provide legal advice on due diligence and/or structures for your purchase.
Legal due diligence is relevant to both the vendor and the purchaser. If you are the purchaser, we recommend giving yourself enough time so that you are confident what you are buying is compliant and is priced fairly. If you are the vendor, you should take the time to review and coordinate your business affairs so that you can ensure that the business is compliant and ready for sale.
Please feel free to contact us to begin the process.
