Buying or Selling a Business
Buying or Selling a Business? Get the Deal in Writing — Professionally
Whether you’re buying or selling a business — in whole or in part — it’s essential to have a clear, well-drafted agreement in place. A professionally prepared sale or share purchase agreement helps protect your interests, reduce risk, and ensure the deal is legally binding.
I offer tailored legal agreements for business sales and share purchases at a clear, fixed fee, making sure you understand every aspect of the deal, from what’s included to your post-completion obligations.
Who Needs This Agreement
- you are a small or medium business owner or entrepreneur looking to buy an existing business — whether that’s a café, shop, restaurant, GP practice, dental practice, veterinary clinic, gym, car workshop, IT company, private tuition and training business, construction company, franchise, delivery service, or any local operation.
- Or, you are selling your business and want to ensure the terms are clear and your position is protected
- you want a legal agreement that sets out what’s being sold, the agreed price, responsibilities, timing, and any ongoing obligations after the sale.
You need a legal agreement that defines what’s being bought, the price, liabilities, completion terms, and post-sale obligations.
