Business brokers are licensed professionals in Australia to assist business and franchise owners in selling. A solicitor is required to prepare and review the legal documents, and an accountant to prepare financial records and review tax obligations.

Always seek professional legal advice when selling a business. Every state has different laws, and you want to be sure that the business sale is structured correctly for your state. A business sale usually requires a Contract of Sale document that the seller’s solicitor prepares. This document will outline things such as; assets being transferred, property details, fixtures, stock, patents, trademarks, liabilities, employee details and entitlements, training periods and more. During the Due Diligence process, the buyer's solicitor will usually look over the contract and may want to make adjustments. There is usually a period of negotiations between the buyer and seller before settlement. Once the settlement has occurred, it is the seller’s responsibility to transfer all the relevant services such as leases, licenses, ABN, Business names, trademarks, patents etc. and finalise any tax or employee obligations.
