Effective due diligence is critical to uncovering liabilities, contractual obligations and compliance issues that could impact the value or viability of a business purchase. Our team guides you through the due diligence process, helping assess financial records, leases, employee agreements and regulatory obligations. By identifying concerns early, we help you make informed decisions backed by legal expertise.
Completing a business sale involves more than just signing a contract — it requires careful coordination of settlement steps, transfer of assets and compliance with legal requirements. Central Coast Solicitors provides comprehensive support through settlement planning, documentation and any post-contract obligations, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership. Reach out to us for dedicated guidance from contract to completion.
When selling a leased business, it’s important to review the lease terms, landlord consent requirements and assignment conditions, as these can affect timing and settlement. Legal advice helps ensure the lease is properly transferred and your obligations are clearly addressed in the sale contract.
Why is lease review important when buying a business? The lease governs key aspects of your business operations, including rent, term and renewal rights, so understanding these terms before purchase is essential. A solicitor can review the lease and negotiate conditions to ensure it aligns with your business goals and financial expectations.
Some business contracts include licences such as a Licence to Occupy, lottery (Lotto), liquor licences or Australia Post office agreements, each with specific transfer and compliance requirements. Obtaining legal advice early ensures these licences are correctly addressed and approved as part of the transaction.
