Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Orangeville clients often ask.
What should Orangeville buyers check before purchasing a local business?
Buyers should review financial records, leases, equipment, supplier terms, customer relationships, employees, debts, tax issues, licences, and liabilities.
Can supplier accounts be transferred?
Some can be assigned, while others require consent or a new account, so pricing, credit terms, and transfer rules should be checked.
Why document seller support?
Training, customer introductions, supplier handover, confidentiality, payment, and limits should be clear so both sides know what is expected.
