Buying & Selling A Business
Whether you are starting up a business, acquiring or selling a going concern or entering into partnership with someone there are many complexities that you need to take into consideration.
The trouble is that many of them will not be pointed out to you unless you seek independent advice. In our many years of experience we would say that taking legal advice BEFORE you sign any agreement could save you much time and expense. Very few business deals will genuinely break down if you do not sign your agreement immediately and if anything undue urgency is usually a sign that the deal is not all you expect it to be.
At Pearson Rowe we take deep personal interest in each business we advise as we want to help you to grow and prosper.
Selling A Business
When selling a business Pearson Rowe can help you focus on the important aspects of the sale including the preparation of all the legal documentation. This can include drafting contracts, transfers of undertakings, warranties and indemnities, heads of agreement, exclusivity agreements, confidentiality agreements and letters of intent. We will explain to you the process and will guide you through the complexities of the transaction.
As the sale is usually linked with the sale of the premises, then we can advise you on this and deal with the lease requirements and/or conveyancing side of the deal.
Purchasing a Business
When purchasing a business, we can review and advise on the sale documentation and will liase with your accountants to ensure due diligence is carried out. We will advise you on all of the documentation and will investigate title which will allow you to assess the risks of the transaction. Again, as it is likely that premises are to be included then we can act in respect of these as well.
