Frequently Asked Questions About Buying or Selling a Business
What’s involved in selling a small business?
You will need to prepare financials, employee records, and transfer agreements. It’s also essential to comply with laws around Fair Work, tax and contracts. The selling your business guide is a helpful starting point, but legal advice is strongly recommended.
How do I do due diligence when buying a business?
We help you review key documents such as leases, contracts, employee entitlements, financials and liabilities. See this government resource on buying a business for more.
What’s involved in selling or buying a franchise?
You must comply with the Franchising Code of Conduct, which includes a Disclosure Document and cooling-off period. We’ll explain your rights and obligations clearly.
What happens to staff when a business is sold?
Employee entitlements may transfer depending on the circumstances. Fair Work has guidelines on business transfers and employee rights — we can help you navigate this correctly.
