Speak to a Commercial Solicitor

If you’re planning a business sale or purchase, negotiating a commercial lease, dealing with commercial property issues, or facing a commercial dispute, we can help. Book a consultation and tell us what you’re trying to achieve we’ll outline the next steps, likely timelines, and a clear fixed-fee proposal.

What’s the difference between a share purchase and an asset purchase?

In a share purchase, the buyer acquires the shares in the company (and the company’s assets and liabilities). In an asset purchase, the buyer purchases selected assets (and may take on limited liabilities). We’ll advise on which structure fits your commercial goals and risk appetite.

How long does a business sale or purchase take?

Timescales vary, but many matters run over several months depending on due diligence, funding, third-party consents and negotiation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline and keep the process moving.
