Frequently Asked Questions
How can a business lawyer help me sell my small business in New South Wales?
A business lawyer can provide crucial assistance when you sell a small business in New South Wales. They can draft and negotiate the contract for the sale of business, ensure compliance with legal requirements, protect your intellectual property rights, and handle the sale transaction from start to finish. Our lawyers at Corestone can also help mitigate risks and arrange for a smooth transition, making your business sale in Australia as efficient and profitable as possible.
What are the key terms of the sale I should be aware of when selling my business?
Important terms of the sale include the purchase price, payment structure, assets included, liabilities assumed, non-compete clauses, and any conditions precedent. A business lawyer can help you understand and negotiate these terms to guarantee they align with your interests and make your business better positioned for a successful sale.
Can Corestone Lawyers also help with transferring my business name and other intellectual property rights?
Absolutely. We can assist with transferring your business name and other valuable intellectual property rights as part of the sale of your business. This includes handling the necessary paperwork to transfer trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets, ensuring a smooth transition of these crucial assets to the new owner.
How do I qualify potential buyers for my business in New South Wales?
To qualify potential buyers, we can help you draw up confidentiality agreements, assess their financial capability, and evaluate their experience in your industry. As your business lawyer, we can also arrange for structured disclosure of information to serious buyers while protecting your business’ confidential details.
Can I sell my business without a solicitor or accountant?
While it’s possible to sell a business without professional help, it’s not advisable. A solicitor ensures legal compliance and protects your interests, while an accountant advises on financial and taxation matters. Together, they help you get the best outcome from the sale transaction and avoid potential pitfalls.
What should I consider when selling my business premises along with the business?
When selling business premises as part of the sale of a business, you need to consider property valuation, any existing mortgages, lease agreements, and potential capital gains tax implications. We can help structure the transaction to cover both the business and premise sale, ensuring all legal aspects are properly addressed.
