Property Law

Buying a business could easily be the biggest investment you ever make. Similarly, selling a business can be an important opportunity to turn your hard work and goodwill into cash. Whether you're the vendor or the purchaser of a business, your business property transaction has the potential to either make you or cost you a significant amount of money.

Issues which you may need to consider as part of the purchase (or sale) process include:

• The business structure (ie. family trust, company, partnership) of the purchaser
• Lease and tenancy details
• Apportioning the outgoings of the business
• Insurance 
• G.S.T.
• Breakdown of the purchase price into goodwill, stock, plant etc.

The best outcome for you as a Vendor may be significantly different from your desired outcome as a Purchaser. Like any legal transaction, it's important to get expert property law advice from the beginning of the buying or selling process, and definitely before you sign any agreement.
