Sale/purchase of a business
If there is a lease attached to the sale/purchase of a business you should contact us before anything is signed. In fact businesses are so unique that you should consult with us before a ‘standard contract’ is used as the ‘standard conditions’ may not be appropriate for your business or your circumstances and may need adjusting to suit.
