Sale & Business Acquisition
The sale of a business constitutes a complex operation; in addition to multiple strategic and financial considerations, both the seller and the buyer must also take into account the fiscal and legal aspects. Considering their often diverging interests, the parties will have to conduct serious negotiations in order to reach a mutual agreement. As an example, the choice of a transactional vehicle (sale of shares or sale of assets) shall oppose the best interest of the seller, who may profit from a sizeable fiscal exemption by carrying out a sale of shares, to the best interest of the buyer, who will instead prefer to carry out a sale of assets so that he does not need to assume the business' liabilities (known or occult).
