Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Etobicoke clients often ask.
What matters most in an Etobicoke asset purchase?
Buyers should confirm the assets, equipment, leases, contracts, employees, licences, liabilities, taxes, and seller transition support.
Can equipment financing affect closing?
Yes. Existing liens, leases, payouts, releases, ownership records, and transfer documents should be reviewed before completion.
Should customer contracts be assigned?
Some contracts can be assigned and others need consent or a new agreement, so the contract language should be reviewed early.
