Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Port Credit clients often ask.
What should Port Credit buyers check in a storefront purchase?
Buyers should review the lease, landlord consent, renewal terms, fixtures, equipment, inventory, licences, employees, brand assets, and seller support.
Can a business name and online accounts be included?
They can be included where transferable, but ownership, access, platform rules, exclusions, and assignment documents should be reviewed.
What if a seller promises to introduce customers?
The agreement should set the timing, method, confidentiality, scope, payment if any, and limits of those introductions.
