Business Sale Agreements, quick & stress-free.

A Business Sale Agreement is a legally binding agreement that you negotiate and sign with the purchaser of your business. It is used to set out aspects of the sale such as the purchase amount, dispute resolutions, and what assets are included as part of the sale.

Often, the Business Sale Agreement is prepared by the seller of the business (and their lawyers).

A Business Sale Agreement is a really important document to have if you’re buying or selling a business. This is because it sets out the key terms that parties are agreeing upon in the sale, such as the purchase amount, the assets that are included as part of the sale, and other provisions that reflect the details of the deal.

If you’re the buyer, a Business Sale Agreement is important for ensuring that the agreement sets out the full list of assets you’re buying and that the seller provides you with sufficient warranties. If you’re the seller, it’s important to have legal help with your Business Sale Agreement so that you’re able to stand by the warranties you’re providing, and make sure that you understand any potential liabilities that might continue after the deal.

As a first point, advice should be taken from a lawyer before signing a business sale agreement. This advice is to ensure that you and your company are well informed of all the terms of the agreement. Not only you, but that all parties are aware of the implications the agreement may have on the business’ employees and property.

Simply put, a template would be too general for niche companies and would not be able to factor in all the surrounding factors specific to your business. This package allows for you to be able to speak to a lawyer and tailor craft a Business Sale Agreement so that nothing is missed in the binding sale which could cause issues later down the track.

Our fixed-fee Business Sale Agreement packages start at $1500 + GST. This includes a Business Sale Agreeement drafted to meet your specific requirements, phone consultations with an expert Sprintlaw lawyer and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.

Our legal team is made up of experienced lawyers, who are specialists in various areas of law and hold an Australian legal practising certificate. None of our Sprintlaw lawyers are New Zealand qualified lawyers and they do not currently hold a New Zealand practising certificate. They provide legal services working remotely from Australia via our ‘legal consultancy’ model, through which (under section 6 and section 35 of the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006) our Australian legal team are permitted to provide legal services to New Zealand businesses provided they do not provide services in certain ‘reserved’ areas of law. You can read our FAQ page to learn a bit more about our ‘legal consultancy’ model.


Given the strong similarities between Australian and New Zealand law, and the areas of law in which we practice (being small business and startup law), we do not view the fact that our lawyers have not qualified in New Zealand as having any substantive impact on the quality of our service. We are committed to ensuring that we provide high quality, affordable legal services to all our New Zealand clients. 


Our legal team have all trained at leading Australian firms, but have left the traditional corporate law world to join us on our mission to create a new and better way of delivering legal services. They have specialist expertise in technology law, intellectual property law, contract drafting and review, corporate law and commercial law.
