Buying or Selling a Business

Experienced Legal Support for Business Transactions

Whether you’re taking the exciting step of acquiring a business or preparing to sell one you’ve built, the right legal structure and due diligence make all the difference. At Brooks Business Law, we guide you through the entire process, helping you protect value, manage risk, and achieve a smooth transition.

Buying a Business

Purchasing a business involves more than just signing an agreement. We help you understand what you’re buying and how to protect yourself from unexpected liabilities.
Our services include:

  • Share and asset purchase agreements

  • Due diligence on financial, contractual, and regulatory matters

  • Negotiation of purchase terms and vendor financing

  • Incorporation and structuring for your new ownership entity

  • Review of leases, employment contracts, and key supplier agreements

  • Closing documentation and registration

We’ll ensure that the deal is properly structured to align with your financial and strategic goals, while minimizing tax and legal exposure.

Selling a Business

When selling your business, our role is to help you maximize value and complete the sale efficiently.
We assist with:

  • Preparation of disclosure documents and transaction summaries

  • Negotiation and drafting of letters of intent (LOIs)

  • Share or asset sale agreements

  • Review of buyer due diligence requests

  • Coordination with accountants, brokers, and lenders

  • Closing and post-closing matters

We protect your interests at every stage — from initial negotiations to final payment — so you can transition confidently to what’s next.
