Commercial service / TRANSACTIONS
Grow, buy & sell
A transaction changes more than the company’s shareholding. Barnard helps founders, business owners and investors assess the legal position, negotiate the documents and implement the agreed transaction.
OPEN. UNFOLD. GET BACK TO BUSINESS.
Does this sound familiar?
An investor is interested. A business is for sale. Then what?
- You are buying or selling shares, assets or a business
- An investor or funding opportunity is under consideration
- You are preparing for a restructure, partner exit or business succession
How we can help
Prepare for the transaction
- Corporate, contractual and regulatory due diligence
- Red-flag reports and deal readiness
- Transaction structuring and ownership arrangements
Negotiate the documents
- Share and asset acquisitions and disposals
- Sale of business and investment agreements
- Funding, joint venture and strategic partnership documents
Implement the change
- Transaction conditions and completion support
- Board and shareholder approvals
- Restructuring and commercial exit arrangements
Before we speak
Useful information to have ready for the conversation.
- A short description of the proposed transaction
- The parties and the structure being considered
- Any term sheet, offer or draft agreement
- The timetable, key conditions and known concerns
You do not need all of this to make an enquiry. Start with a brief outline; the team will arrange how to receive any sensitive documents.
