Hassle-Free Settlement

The problems with selling a business if you don’t use an expert lawyer.

Selling a business isn’t as simple as signing a contract and shaking hands. Without the right legal support, you can run into serious problems, including:

Hidden liabilities – debts, employee obligations, or lease terms you didn’t know about.
Unfair contracts – agreements drafted to favour the other side, or another party, leaving you exposed.
Deal delays – weeks or months wasted because paperwork wasn’t done properly.
Disputes after settlement – arguments over stock, equipment, or terms that weren’t made clear.
Tax and compliance traps – costly GST or stamp duty surprises you weren’t prepared for.
Losing money – undervaluing your business or overpaying because the details weren’t negotiated properly.
Stress and uncertainty – not knowing what’s next, or whether you’re making the right decisions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer to sell my business in Australia?

It’s highly recommended and not advised to sell a business in Australia without a lawyer.

Selling a business involves complex contracts, transferring leases, employee obligations, and compliance with Australian and state laws. A lawyer ensures you’re legally protected and that the sale runs smoothly.

What documents are required to sell my business?

You’ll need a business sale agreement, financial statements, lease documents, employee records, asset lists, and any licences or permits relevant to your industry.

How long does it take to sell a business?

Most business sales take between 4–12 weeks, depending on the size of the business, the complexity of the contracts, and how quickly both parties provide information.

What is due diligence, and why does it matter?

Due diligence is the process where the buyer investigates your business before settlement. It covers finances, contracts, leases, and liabilities. A lawyer helps present this information clearly and protects you from claims after the sale.

How do I make sure I get the best deal when selling my business?

Your lawyer will negotiate terms, ensure the contract reflects fair value, and protect you from clauses that could reduce your return or create future liability.

What happens with my employees when I sell the business?

Employee entitlements such as leave, redundancy, and contracts must be addressed. Your lawyer will ensure these obligations are properly transferred or finalised to avoid disputes.

Can I sell my business if I still have a lease?

Yes, but the lease usually needs to be transferred (assigned) to the buyer. A lawyer manages this process and negotiates with the landlord to make sure your obligations end at settlement.

What are the risks of selling without legal advice?

You risk being liable for debts, losing money through unfair terms, facing tax surprises, or having disputes with the buyer after settlement. Legal advice protects you from these issues.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer to sell my business?

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the sale. We offer fixed fees for standard transactions, so you know upfront what you’ll pay.

What happens on settlement day?

On settlement day, funds are transferred, and ownership of the business passes to the buyer. Your lawyer coordinates all of this to ensure a smooth handover.
