Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Oakville clients often ask.
What should Oakville buyers review in a professional business purchase?
Buyers should review client relationships, contracts, privacy records, employees, IP, leases, financial records, liabilities, and transition support.
Can IP and brand assets transfer with the business?
They can, but ownership, licences, assignments, exclusions, domains, content, software, and contractor rights should be reviewed.
Why should employee confidentiality be checked?
Key employees may have access to client information, systems, pricing, and processes, so confidentiality and transition terms can matter.
