Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Georgetown clients often ask.
What should Georgetown buyers check when equipment is important?
Buyers should review ownership, liens, leases, condition, maintenance records, warranties, transfer documents, and any required releases.
Can customer relationships be included in the price?
Yes, but customer introductions, trade names, websites, phone numbers, seller support, and non-solicitation terms should be clear.
Why compare an asset deal and a share deal?
Structure can affect liabilities, contracts, taxes, employees, HST, records, and closing documents, so legal and tax advice should be coordinated.
