Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Mississauga clients often ask.
Should Mississauga buyers choose an asset purchase or share purchase?
The right structure depends on liabilities, taxes, contracts, employees, HST, licences, records, and closing goals, so legal and tax advice should be coordinated.
What contracts should be reviewed before closing?
Material customer, supplier, lease, franchise, financing, software, service, employment, and contractor agreements should be reviewed.
Can closing be conditional on due diligence?
Yes. Conditions can give the buyer time to review records, obtain consents, arrange financing, and decide whether to proceed.
