Selling a business

There are three important phases to the sale of a business:

1. Preparing the business for the sale
2. Negotiating the deal
3. Finalising the deal with a successful commercial outcome

At Access Legal we understand the importance of building your business up before a sale, to ensure that you can achieve the best possible outcome. To this effect, we have created a range of services for our clients in preparation for a sale:

• Independent review of your businesses strengths and weaknesses
• Provide suggestions for changes from a legal perspective that could enhance a purchasers confidence in your business, and thereby enhance your price!
• Discuss structuring alternatives to ensure that on sale you are minimising tax, protecting your assets and efficiently distributing income
• Assist in the provision of a business valuation (in conjunction with our sister companies)
• Assist in the commercial deal providing well prepared supporting documentation that achieves a successful commercial outcome
