Explanatory Notes

Buying and Selling a Business


Buying or selling a business are stressful events and, while they are apparently closely related (the same commodity is being traded, that of a business), in reality both are very different.

If you are buying a business, you will be in the driving seat. If you are selling one, you need to present your business to the purchaser in such a way that he will decide to buy. Until he agrees to the purchase, and you have his signature on the contract, he is free to drop out at any moment of his choosing. In other words, he, as purchaser, not you, will be in the driving seat.

So with these two roles being very different, you will find that this book tries to cater for your adopting and, indeed, understanding both roles.

Buying and Selling a Business takes you through the issues with the following topics:

Part One Buying a Business

11 Ways of paying for the business
12 The required legal documents
13 The tax implications on buying a business
14 Making sure that the business doesn't die the day you take it over
15 Setting out properly so that you can sell the business
 
Part Two  Selling a business
