Selling your business is one of the biggest commercial decisions you’ll ever make. Whether you’re exiting to retire, move on to new ventures, or capitalise on your hard work, it’s crucial to ensure your sale protects your interests and minimises risk.

At Enterprise Legal, our highly experienced team assists business owners across Queensland with business sales, helping you navigate the legal, commercial, and practical complexities involved in selling your business.

Important: This page relates to selling a business itself (i.e. assets, goodwill, equipment, and contracts). If you’re selling shares in a company, please refer to our Share Sales page. And if you’re selling a franchise, we strongly recommend reading our Franchising page for specific advice on franchise transactions.

Most of our business sale services are offered on a fixed or capped-fee basis, so you’ll always know your costs upfront. And you can easily book your initial appointment online to get started.

What’s Involved in Selling a Business

  • Preparing for Sale
    Reviewing financials, contracts, leases, and employee arrangements to ensure your business is sale-ready and there are no hidden risks for the buyer to discover.
  • Drafting or Reviewing Sale Contracts
    Ensuring the Business Sale Agreement clearly defines what’s included in the sale, your warranties, and how the purchase price will be paid.
  • Managing Warranties and Indemnities
    Negotiating warranty and indemnity clauses to limit your exposure to claims after settlement.
  • Employee Considerations
    Advising on transferring staff entitlements and complying with the Fair Work Act obligations.
  • Settlement and Post-Completion
    Making sure all payments are received, assets are properly transferred, and your business transition is smooth and legally finalised.

What’s the difference between selling a business and selling shares?
Selling a business usually means selling its assets, goodwill, and contracts. Selling shares means transferring ownership of the company itself. They involve different legal and tax consequences.

Absolutely. Selling a business is complex and exposes you to significant legal and financial risks if not handled properly. We help protect your interests and ensure you get paid what you’re owed.
What is due diligence from a seller’s perspective?
Due diligence is the process where a buyer investigates your business. We help prepare your documents and manage disclosures to avoid future disputes.
Can I sell my franchise like a regular business?
Franchise sales have unique legal requirements under the Franchising Code of Conduct, including disclosure obligations. If you’re selling a franchise, check out our Franchising page for specific advice.
