Providing a calming influence when you need it.

Just like buying or selling a home, buying or selling a business can be a stressful time, especially if you are going through the process for the first time.

You may need to think about matters that you have not considered before such as the property from which the business is run and the business staff, and you will come across technical terms that you may not have heard of before.

Our experts, using clear and simple terms, will help guide you through all the questions and issues which arise throughout the transaction. We can help on all commercial transactions from the taking over or sale of a lease on a shop, the purchase of a business run from an industrial unit or shop through to the purchase of a large company with many branches or properties.
Where possible we will work on a fixed fee basis enabling you to budget for legal costs as part of the overall cost.

We offer a local, personal service from lawyers with a wealth of experience in commercial transactions. We will carry out all of the necessary work for you including the drafting and checking of all contracts or other documents required for the transaction, as well as raising or answering enquiries in relation to the business. We shall liaise with your accountants as appropriate to make sure that your interests are best represented.

We believe that good communication is the key to a commercial transaction, and where possible we shall be pleased to meet with you to discuss your concerns even at short notice. We appreciate that matters may suddenly arise on which you need answers, and we pride ourselves on being able to provide those answers quickly.
