Business Sale & Purchase Lawyers Melbourne
Melbourne legal advice on buying and selling businesses, including due diligence, contracts, restraints and settlement support.
Understanding Business Sale & Purchase
Buying or selling a business is a legal, financial and operational transition all at once. The risk is not just over the purchase price. It sits in the quality of earnings, customer and supplier dependencies, employee issues, lease position, licences, stock, goodwill, restraints and the warranties the parties are giving each other. A short or generic contract rarely deals with those risks properly.
Vitt Legal advises Melbourne purchasers and vendors on business sale transactions from heads of agreement through due diligence, contract negotiation and settlement. We focus on making sure the deal matches what the parties think they are buying and selling.
