Selling a business

It can often feel like your business is coming to a grinding halt simply because of the sale process.

It is imperative that you are organised and avoid taking your eye off the ball when it comes to the management of the business.

You need a team to help you with the transaction and one who you can trust to act in your best interests.

Selling a business requires expert legal advice

To sell a business without getting proper legal advice from someone used to doing corporate work is very risky.  You may save on fees, but it will cost you more in the long run if you accept unreasonable warranties and indemnities.

We work with clients from start to finish of a transaction and are often involved in:

• Non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality agreements
• Heads of agreement
• Dealing with due diligence enquiries
• Sale and purchase agreement
• Disclosure letter
• Advising on warranties and indemnities
• Advising and negotiating on post-termination restrictions
• Ancillary documents, such as board and shareholder resolutions, resignations, service agreements or consultancy arrangements if a seller is remaining with the business for a period post-completion.

We are experienced in drafting provisions for deferred consideration, earn outs, loan notes and advice on security.

Our aim is to clearly explain the process of selling a business and work with owners to ensure, as far as possible, a smooth transaction.
