Help for Buyers Who Want Certainty

If you're buying a business, you're not just taking over a brand—you’re inheriting contracts, suppliers, staff and liabilities. We help you ask the right questions before signing, so you know exactly what you're getting into.


That includes reviewing sale contracts, advising on licenses and registrations and looking to make sure you’re protected if unexpected debts or conditions pop up later. We’ll also help transfer leases, negotiate adjustments and clarify who’s responsible for what after settlement.


Buying a business should be exciting, not stressful. We seek to make sure you’re buying something sustainable—with no unpleasant surprises waiting down the track.

Selling a Business Without Second-Guessing

Selling a business is a big decision—and one you want done properly. We can make sure your contract of sale reflects exactly what you're offering, protects your rights post-settlement and handles issues like stock, equipment, goodwill and staff correctly.


If the buyer is taking over your lease or licenses, we help manage the transfers. If you’re planning to stay on during a transition period, we’ll help ensure those terms are clearly written. We also work with your accountant or broker to coordinate handover and avoid tax complications.


You’ve worked hard to build your business—we help you exit on the right terms, with peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is involved in selling a business in New South Wales?

    Selling a business involves more than just handing over the keys. You'll need a contract of sale that sets out what’s included (e.g. equipment, stock, goodwill), whether you’re transferring leases or staff, and any conditions tied to settlement.


    Legal advice ensures the deal protects your rights and meets state compliance requirements.

  • What should I check before buying a business?

    Buyers should review financial records, supplier agreements, employee contracts, leases, and any ongoing obligations or liabilities. It's also important to confirm all required licences or registrations are in place and transferable.


    Legal review helps avoid risks and ensures what’s promised in the contract matches what’s being delivered.

  • Do I need a lawyer to sell my business?

    Yes. A lawyer drafts or reviews the sale contract, handles lease or licence transfers, and ensures compliance with legal requirements. They also help manage timelines, communication with the buyer, and settlement conditions.


    Without legal support, sellers can accidentally take on post-sale liabilities they didn't intend.

  • How long does it take to buy or sell a business?

    It depends on the size and complexity of the deal. Most small business transactions take 4–8 weeks from contract signing to settlement, though delays can occur if lease assignments, finance approvals or third-party consents are involved.


    Starting with the right legal guidance helps prevent unnecessary hold-ups.
