A café, a franchise, a trades company, a professional practice — or a larger acquisition. We handle the legal side and tell you the cost before any work begins.
A café or restaurant, a salon, a franchise, a trades or landscaping business, a dental or health practice, an online store — usually run by its owner, one buyer, one seller.
A company with several owners or employees, bank financing, real estate, or one where you’ll want proper due diligence and negotiated protections before you sign.
Not sure which you are? That’s normal — and it’s our job, not yours, to figure out. As a rough guide, most deals under a couple of million dollars are the first kind. Tell us about yours and we’ll point you the right way.
Two honest paths, one promise: no open-ended hourly surprises. We tell you the cost in writing before any work begins.
A set starting fee, confirmed in writing once we see the agreement. Searches & filings extra, at cost.
After a short call we send a written fixed quote — so cost and scope are clear before you commit.
The same team scales from a corner-store purchase to a negotiated acquisition.
In an asset purchase you buy the business’s assets — equipment, name, goodwill. In a share purchase you buy the company itself, including its history and liabilities. We explain which one your deal is and what it means for you, in plain terms.
You don’t have to — that’s our job. Tell us the basics and we’ll tell you which path fits and what it costs.
Yes. For straightforward purchases and sales, most of the work happens online with a licensed Ontario lawyer reviewing your file.
