Solicitors for Selling or Buying Your Business

Over many years of being involved with business transfers, we've found over and over again about what clients who are selling their businesses really want from their solicitor.  What they want are fast completions; fixed prices where they know exactly what the final cost will be from the start; and their solicitors keeping them free of as much of the hassle and stress as possible.  

It is there priorities that we've designed our business sales services around.  This is a summary of what makes us a great choice of solicitor to handle your business sale :

• Targeting completion of legal formalities within 28 days 

• Nothing for you to pay us upfront, we only receive our fee at completion 

• Fixed price fees so you know exactly what the total cost will be from the beginning

• Free aftercare support and related legal advice if required

• We prioritise making the process stress-less and pleasant for you

What's involved in the legal side of selling or buying my business 

Trandfering even a very small business can be a complex task.  There are a lot different aspects that all need to be tied up with the sale to make it legal.  Your buyer will be spending a lot of money for your business and ultimately what you'll be selling will be a mixture of physical assets and a bundle of legal rights and entitlements.  Just a few of the possible aspects that need to be dealt with dealt with legally are : transfer of ownership of business assets; employees rights and contracts; leasehold or freehold property; websites; copy rights and trading names; contracts with supplies; contracts with customers; book debts; creditors; potential future legal claims; licensing, registration and permit issues; warranties; future competition and restraint of trade matters.  These are just a few of the more obvious issues.  Each business sale is different and the set of specific issues to be dealt with is unique to every sale.
