Frequently Asked Questions

Do supplier agreements transfer to the new owner?

Not always. Some suppliers need to approve a new owner, so check the agreements early. Your broker can help manage this as part of the sale.

How is stock handled in the sale?

Stock is commonly paid for separately at settlement, at its value on the day. Old or slow-moving stock is usually excluded or discounted.
