Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Ajax clients often ask.
What should Ajax buyers ask for during due diligence?
Buyers should usually review financials, contracts, leases, employees, debts, tax records, licences, assets, and corporate records.
Can a seller stay involved after closing?
Yes, but training, consulting, introductions, non-competition terms, payment, and timing should be written clearly.
Do business purchases need tax advice?
Yes. Legal documents and tax planning should be coordinated because structure can affect HST, income tax, liabilities, and records.
