Buying a Business

When buying a business there are many questions that need to be answered.

The whole process needs to be well managed and a detailed knowledge of many aspects of business operation, law, accountancy and taxation is needed to understand the implications of the information that flows from the buying process and to minimise the risk of an ill informed purchase.

I can manage and advise on the entire process, asking and answering such questions as:

Is the business worth what you are paying?

Is everything as the sellers say?

What is the best way to buy the business, how should ownership be structured, what about tax?

Do you buy the company or the business and assets?

Do you need to do a business plan?

Do you need shareholders agreements?

Do you need directors' service contracts?

What are the hidden liabilities?

Will there be difficult employment rights and problems with the transfer of undertakings regulations?

Do you think you can do this on your own?
