Full Representation — Small Business Acquisition or Disposal

£4,995.00

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.
