We understand that every business legal transaction is unique, which is why we offer a tailored service that is designed to meet your specific needs.
Who can we help and how
Our team will collaborate with you to determine your objectives to facilitate the transaction that is most advantageous for your organisation, with a focus on legal excellence.
When acquiring or disposing of a business, whether the transaction should be conducted through the transfer of shares or assets will be a crucial factor. Every scenario possesses a distinct structure, and we will collaborate closely with your tax and accounting advisors to reach a mutually beneficial resolution.
The nature of the sale transaction will be influenced by the form of ownership when you are preparing to sell your business. Asset sale is the only viable course of action for sole proprietorships and partnerships unless the business is incorporated before the transfer of the assets to a third party. A transaction involving the transfer of shares is typically the most tax-efficient for the seller of an incorporated company.
When viewed from the perspective of a purchaser, acquiring a business may appear more appealing than purchasing the shares. This is because the purchaser can choose which assets of the company to purchase and which liabilities of the seller (excluding employment liabilities, for instance) to undertake. As the majority of sellers prefer to do so for tax advantages, we collaborate with purchasers to mitigate the potential for assuming unwelcome obligations during the process of acquiring a business.
