Business Sales & Acquisitions

We make the process of acquiring
or selling simple (how un-lawyerly of us).

There are different methods for acquiring or selling a business – including via an asset sale or a sale of shares. There are also different processes and stages, which vary based on the nature and scale of the acquisition or sale. Should you use a term sheet? Are you speaking with a party exclusively? We can educate you, in as little or as much detail as you want, on the differences and implications of each option, arming you to make a decision that best suits you.

We can walk you through

• tax implications – what the potential capital gains tax and stamp duty implications may be
• commercial risks – the different risks in purchasing a business vs shares, and
• commercial practicality – what you can expect during the process of the acquisition or sale, given the nature and scale of the proposed transaction.
