How We Help
Business purchase and sale support for Unionville clients.
We assist with deal structure, due diligence, asset and share purchase agreements, closing deliverables, financing coordination, and practical risk review.
Buying or selling a Unionville business often involves more than agreeing on a price. A strong transaction needs clear wording around the business assets, corporate records, contracts, leases, employees, intellectual property, customer relationships, supplier terms, financing conditions, and the practical handover from one owner to the next. When these details are left vague, the parties can reach closing with different expectations about what is actually being transferred.
Goldstone Law PC helps Unionville buyers and sellers work through asset purchases, share purchases, letters of intent, purchase agreements, due diligence, closing documents, and transition planning. We help clients understand the structure of the deal and the risks that should be addressed before signing. In an asset purchase, the agreement usually focuses on selected assets and selected obligations. In a share purchase, the buyer takes over the corporation itself, which can make corporate history, liabilities, tax matters, contracts, and minute book records especially important.
For buyers, we review the documents and practical facts that affect whether the business can operate after closing. That may include the lease, landlord consent, supplier agreements, customer contracts, employee matters, licences, equipment lists, inventory, financing requirements, accountant comments, seller training, and non-competition terms. The review should help the buyer understand what is known, what remains uncertain, and what conditions should be satisfied before closing.
For sellers, we help prepare the business for review, respond to buyer requests, revise agreement terms, coordinate with accountants or brokers, prepare closing certificates and resolutions, and document any support the seller will provide after closing. Clear preparation can keep the transaction from becoming rushed at the end.
Whether the Unionville transaction involves a clinic, restaurant, professional practice, technology business, retail shop, or owner-managed corporation, our role is to keep the legal steps organized and the written terms tied to the real business being transferred.

Organize due diligence
We help identify corporate records, contracts, leases, employees, licences, assets, liabilities, financing, tax questions, and third-party consents that should be reviewed before closing.
