Business Asset Sales

Business asset sales in Vancouver & the North Shore

Buying or selling business assets calls for a clear understanding of what is being offered and what each party wants to achieve. Paolo Cartocci helps clients in Vancouver, North Vancouver and West Vancouver navigate marketing, enquiries and negotiations.

For business owners planning a sale

Start with your goals, timing and the assets you intend to offer. Discuss how the opportunity should be presented and what information can be shared with prospective buyers. Paolo can help organize the marketing process and coordinate enquiries.

For buyers exploring an opportunity

Share the type of business you are considering, your experience, preferred location and budget. Understanding your plans helps focus the discussion on opportunities that warrant closer review with your advisers.

Clarify the assets and the premises

A business asset sale may involve equipment, inventory or other agreed assets. The premises may be leased or separately owned, so access to the space and any related real estate arrangements need their own consideration. The transaction’s scope should be clearly documented by the appropriate professionals.

Coordinate your advisory team

Paolo supports the marketing and negotiation process alongside your legal and accounting advisers. They can help assess the proposed structure, financial information and documentation relevant to your circumstances.

Common questions

Is a business asset sale the same as a commercial property sale?

No. An asset sale concerns the assets specified in the transaction; ownership of the premises is a separate matter unless expressly included. Tell us whether your plans involve assets, real estate, a lease or a combination.

What should I prepare before contacting you?

Provide a general description of the business, location, intended timing and whether you own or lease the premises. We can then discuss what further information is needed and how it should be shared.
