Selling a Business


There are a number of reasons you might be selling your business. Regardless of the motivation, we can help you get the best deal for your circumstances and ensure that the transaction runs smoothly.


We have years of experience in helping clients across a wide variety of sectors sell their business, and we are confident we can give you the expertise you need. 


Any business sale is likely to involve the transfer of monies, the grant of warranties, restriction on post-sale activities etc. All of these can have a substantial financial impact. Still, when properly managed and where you have been fully advised, these can be dealt with without any issue, and you can enjoy the fruits of your sale or the benefits of acquisition if you are a purchaser.


There is a lot to think about when it comes to selling your business, far more than just the price. You will need to consider the value of each of the business assets, including goodwill and reputation. Perhaps you have built strong relationships with employees over the years and want to ensure they will be taken care of. At The McKinstry Company, we understand that your business is important to you. Our lawyers will expertly guide you through the process of selling your business, providing insight and tailored advice at every stage. Contact us today to find out how we can help.
