Drafting an APA for the purchase or sale of a business as a going concern, with straightforward completion mechanics (simultaneous signing and completion). Suitable for small business acquisitions involving goodwill, stock, equipment, contracts, and employees.
What’s included:
• A consultation to understand the deal structure, assets to be transferred, and key commercial terms.
• Drafting of an APA covering asset and liability schedules, purchase price and apportionments, TUPE provisions for transferring employees, seller warranties, restrictive covenants, transitional arrangements, and simultaneous completion mechanics.
• One round of revisions based on your feedback.
• Final version ready for negotiation and execution.
What’s not included:
• Transactions involving property transfers or lease assignments (additional property work required).
• Complex apportionment calculations or completion accounts.
• Detailed TUPE consultation advice beyond the provisions in the APA.
• Regulatory or competition approvals.
• Negotiation with the other party beyond the scope described above.
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
