End-to-end legal representation on the acquisition or disposal of a small business (enterprise value up to £500,000), from heads of terms through to completion. I handle the entire transaction, coordinating with the other side’s lawyers and any specialists needed. Suitable for owner-managed business sales, small company buyouts, and straightforward asset purchases.
What’s included:
A consultation to understand the transaction, your objectives, and the timetable.
Review or drafting of heads of terms.
Drafting or reviewing the principal transaction document (SPA or APA).
Drafting or reviewing the disclosure letter.
Handling the completion process and post-completion matters (excluding handling client money).
Coordination with the other side’s solicitors throughout.
Regular updates and advice on strategy at each stage.
Up to two rounds of revisions to the principal documents.
What’s not included:
Transactions with an enterprise value exceeding £500,000 (I can quote for larger deals).
Handling client money (I use a law firm with which I have a consultancy arrangement, if this is necessary, in which case the engagement will require a different approach, which we can discuss).
Specialist property, pension, or environmental advice (coordinated with your approval and quoted separately).
Regulatory or competition filings.
Post-completion disputes.
Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty).
FAQ
Q: What if my deal is worth more than £500,000?
A: For transactions with a higher enterprise value, the documents are typically more detailed and the process more involved. I can provide a tailored quote based on the deal value and complexity after a short consultation.
Q: Does this cover both buyer and seller representation?
A: Yes. This service is available whether you are buying or selling. The scope and approach are adapted accordingly.
