Selling a Business

If you decide to sell your business, planning well in advance is the key to getting a good deal that proceeds smoothly. A successful business that can be seen to be successful is obviously going to the best option for any buyer.

Any buyer will have their own legal advisers who carry out `due diligence' which will establish any liabilities or obligations your company has so there shouldn't be any nasty financial surprises for them further down the line. The agreement will also be handled by legal professionals and they may require you to provide warranties - written statements about key aspects of the business (liabilities, assets, employees etc). You may also be asked for indemnities - an undertaking to reimburse the purchaser in the future in particular circumstances (for example if there were undisclosed liabilities).

It is therefore essential that as well as good planning to prepare your company for the close scrutiny that selling it would involve, you also have your own expert advice. The legal and financial and tax implications are complex issues. If you would like to talk to an independent adviser, please complete a Quick Enquiry Form and we will arrange for one of our experts to contact you. Alternatively, call us on 0845 108 0505.
