Riverside development in Norwich — company and business sales and purchases solicitors

Company and Business Sales & Purchases

Whether you’re selling a business you’ve spent years building, or buying one to expand or complement a business you already own, it’s rarely just another transaction.

There’s a lot riding on getting it right: the value you walk away with, the people who work for you, and the future of something you care about. It can feel daunting too, especially if you’ve never done it before, or time has passed and the landscape has changed since you last went through the process.

How we can help with your sale or purchase.

We guide owners through these deals from start to finish. That might mean buying or selling the shares in a company, or buying or selling its assets, and we’ll help you understand which option suits your situation and what it means for you. We act for buyers and sellers in equal measure, so wherever you sit in the deal, you’ll have someone who understands what the other side is likely to want, and who looks after the details that are easy to overlook.

We work across all sorts of industries and sectors rather than tying ourselves to one, and most of the businesses we help are owner-managed firms, family businesses and growing companies across Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond. Many are introduced to us by trusted advisors, including accountants and personal referrals. Whatever the size or shape of the deal, you’ll get clear, practical advice and a straight answer when you need one.

If you’re thinking more about how the business itself is owned or structured, our Corporate Services page can help; for the contracts that keep a business running day to day, see Commercial Services. Or simply get in touch and tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll help you work out the right first steps.
