Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Markham clients often ask.
What should Markham buyers check when IP is part of the business?
Buyers should review ownership, licences, domains, software, source materials, trademarks, contractor assignments, exclusions, and transfer documents.
Can customer contracts transfer automatically?
Some contracts may be assignable, while others require consent, notice, or a new agreement, so each material contract should be reviewed.
Why do privacy records matter in a business sale?
Customer data, employee data, system access, consent, confidentiality, and transfer limits can affect due diligence and post-closing operations.
