When either acquiring or selling a business, it is essential to ensure that you seek legal assistance and advice in order to be fully protected and informed of the effects of the transaction. When a business is bought or sold, the largest part of the transaction is actually the transfer of a number of individual assets, including:

• The business premises;
• The stock of the business;
• The tools and furniture of the business;
• The name and reputation of the business;
• The customer lists and ongoing contracts;
• The staff
