"I recently Instructed Andrew at Business Lawyers Direct to deal with a business sale, Wow ! he was very good, always kept me in the "loop" and spoke in terms which I could understand , I even had a comment from the opposing solicitors that Andrew was extremely efficient."

Business & Commercial Due Diligence Solicitors
Due Diligence Ownership and Structure
One of the first things that we check when we’re dealing with the sale or purchase of a business is the ownership and structure of that business.
- Is it owned by a private individual?
- Is it owned by a partnership?
- Is it owned by a limited company?
If it’s owned by a Company:
- Who are the directors?
- Who are the shareholders?
Is the Buyer buying the shares in the Company, or merely the assets of the business run by the Company?
All of these questions are crucial and involve different tax (and other) consequences for the Buyer and the Seller. That’s why you need our experienced Solicitors to advise and protect you.
