What should be considered when purchasing or selling a business?

Valuation – Determine the value of the business.
Consider the Buyer – Understand the buyer’s motivations and intentions.
Negotiations – Establish clear terms for the deal.
Asset Transfer – Ensure the smooth transfer of assets.

What are some factors to consider when buying or selling a business?

Business Records – Business records and contacts are key assets transferred during a business transaction.
Purchase and Sale Agreement – The purchase and sale agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the transaction.

Other issues to consider include:

What price is payable for each element of the business?

We will liaise with your accountants and valuers to ensure the correct price is being attributed to each element of the business sale.

Are any employees being transferred?

What potential liabilities may there be for employees? Our employment lawyers can help smooth over any employment issues that may arise.
