Anyone got a business sale template I can have?

[VladTepes]

I’m looking at purchasing a very small business, as a side project to my real job, so saving money where I can.

vendor wants me to do contract etc as will save me $ on purchase price. He’s time poor not money poor.

so I’m wondering if anyone has a current template for sale of a business contract.

in case it matters both vendor and buyer are in QLD.

THANKS

Have you looked in Word under templates as there are a surprising number of documents there. Probably wouldn't reflect Australian law though.
Another option might be the websites of the Law Society and the Business Council.
Any solicitor should have one.

Cheers, but word templates aren't adequate.

Law Society etc don't offer templates.

Yes most solicitors can/will offer them - at a cost - which seems to start around $99.
Because of the nature of the business ANY money I can save at this point I can invest in growing the business.

So I was hoping there was someone on here that might be generous and offer me one for free (by PM if they prefer, of course)
Always worth asking the question....


I dare say we have a few lawyers among us.

Perhaps I should post in the L405 RR forum... :Rolling:

Hmm the one they say I need is $200... of course. so hoping someone can help.

In WA, we have the Small Business Development Corporation which is quite helpful. Is there something similar in Qld? Or just email the SBDC in WA. They may have something ready to go.

Try the QLD Government small business web site.

That site has plenty of good information but says see a solicitor to get a contract.


Other thing I need to know is whether contract needs to be registered somewhere and if any stamp duty is payable.

thats why they say consult a legal eagle [thumbsupbig]

i wholeheartedly suggest you do... you never know what you may be walking into...

[VladTepes]

Need to find a suitable eagle then.
