Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions King City clients often ask.
What if a King City business depends heavily on the seller?
The agreement should address introductions, training, non-solicitation terms, confidentiality, consulting support, and the limits of seller involvement.
Should the buyer review tax and accounting issues separately?
Yes. Legal terms should be coordinated with tax and accounting advice because structure can affect HST, income tax, payroll, and liabilities.
What records should a seller organize before listing a business?
Corporate records, financials, tax filings, leases, contracts, employee records, equipment lists, debts, licences, and insurance records are helpful.
