Selling A Business
The sale of a business, large or small, must be properly documented to ensure that you exit well. Addressing the technical issues will assist in protecting your legal interests.
We draw on our experience in business sale transactions across a broad range of industries to advise our clients on issues ranging from due diligence and identifying what intellectual property is owned by a business to structuring partnerships and joint ventures.
Plain and simple, we know exactly what questions to ask to ensure your best interests are kept front-of-mind. When you sell a business, the lease or freehold will need to be transferred. What is the restraint of trade to be? Have you considered the tax consequences of the sale? If employees are staying on, this need to be dealt with carefully to ensure you are not left with a huge pay out liability.
We will produce immaculate contract documentation for you, which will secure your position as a confident and successful business seller in the eyes of your potential buyer.
In our best advice, be prudent, organised and properly advised – it will keep you in the the driver’s seat – in control of the deal.
Whether it’s the sale of a division of a large company or the sale of a small Australian family business, the needs are the same – focused lawyers who understand the issues and who are attentive to your needs.
