Business Purchase & Sale

Buying or selling an active business is the most important decision.

It could be the purchase or sale of an operating business, shares, assets, or goodwill, the assumption of a current lease, or the registration of a trade name.

Most of the time, it involves a third-party involvement, such as a landlord. In such a scenario, it is important to determine whether the lease provisions are in your favour.

Likewise, terms that are "condition precedent", which are usually imposed in the Business Agreements and Sale, are very crucial to discuss with your lawyer.

It is crucial that you contact your lawyer before approving any terms of purchase or sale of a business. We offer expert legal advice at different stages of business purchase or sale.
