Are you looking to sell your business?
If you are looking to sell your business, it is important to consider the legal implications of the sale, not just the sale price! Some key matters to consider from a legal perspective when selling your business:
• Understand the legal structure of your business. Are you a sole trader, a company or trading under another structure such as a joint venture or partnership? Is there a trust in place?
• Each structure will attract different legal, accounting and tax consequences and may impact the nature of the agreement you will enter with a potential buyer (for example, it may be an asset sale, or a sale of shares). This agreement setting out the terms and conditions of the sale will be critical to promote and protect your interests.
