Making your new business work for you
Acquiring a business is no small feat. There are many aspects to consider, and many legal complexities to unwrap.
We can help with untangling any ‘mess’ and interpreting any contracts in which you are involved.
From performing due diligence and evaluating a business’s financials, through to identifying legal liabilities and property and ownership requirements, we can help make the acquisition process run smoothly for you.
Invite us on your journey and so you are armed with the right information and right advice when legal input is required.
Buying a Business
We are a one-stop-shop for assisting business buyers.
We research the business you plan to purchase. If there are hurdles, such as outstanding contracts need addressing, or a poor public image inherited from the previous owner, then we help you jump them. And then if you choose to continue the purchase, we help with preparing the Purchase of Business Agreement, covering areas such as transaction type, purchase price, warranties and/or clauses, and a statement of indemnity.
With Archer & Sapounztis Lawyers, you’re in safe hands.
Selling a Business
We help to confirm your decision to sell, and what exactly it is that you’re selling, in order to deliver the right outcomes for you.
We take stress off out of the negotiations by guiding you through the legal and government requirements, offer advice about the profitability of your business and provide market trends for your industry.
We take you through the business valuation process, help find buyers, and negotiate the sale. And when you are ready, we can help with the development of a thorough contract, which will consider your employees, help to finalise tax and legal issues, and assist with the transfer to the new business owner easily and effectively.
If you’re thinking of buying or selling a business, contact us to arrange a free half hour, no obligation session, where we can discuss your goals and help you start off the right way.
