How We Help
Business purchase and sale support for Woodbridge 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 Woodbridge business can involve a wide range of documents and practical details. The transaction may touch equipment, vehicles, inventory, customer accounts, supplier relationships, leased premises, staff, financing, corporate records, goodwill, and the owner’s knowledge of how the business runs. A buyer needs to understand what is actually being acquired. A seller needs clear terms around price, payment, disclosure, releases, and any transition support that will continue after closing.
Goldstone Law PC helps Woodbridge clients with asset purchases, share purchases, letters of intent, purchase agreements, due diligence, closing documents, and transition planning. We help clients understand the difference between buying business assets and buying the shares of the corporation that operates the business. That choice can affect liabilities, contracts, employees, tax coordination, financing, approvals, and the documents required to complete the transaction.
For buyers, we review the business terms and the records that support them. That may include corporate records, contracts, leases, landlord consent, equipment lists, inventory, licences, employee matters, financing conditions, accountant comments, seller training, and non-competition terms. We also help identify unanswered questions and conditions that should be addressed before closing.
For sellers, we help prepare due diligence materials, respond to buyer requests, revise transaction documents, coordinate corporate approvals, prepare closing certificates and resolutions, and document any handover obligations. Clear preparation can reduce delay and make the final signing process easier for everyone involved.
Whether the Woodbridge transaction involves a manufacturing company, trade business, restaurant, retail store, professional office, logistics operation, franchise, or family corporation, our role is to keep the legal work organized, understandable, and connected to the business being transferred.
That matters because a business sale often depends on many small details being handled in the right order, from records and consents to releases, funds, and handover support.
Clear sequencing helps everyone stay aligned.

How It Works

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.
Step 3
Prepare transaction documents
We draft or review purchase agreements, schedules, resolutions, assignments, releases, certificates, directions, and other closing deliverables.

Common Questions
Questions about buying or selling a business in Woodbridge.
Should I buy assets or shares?
It depends on tax, liability, contracts, employees, licences, financing, and the seller's goals. Legal and accounting advice should be coordinated early.
Can you review a Woodbridge letter of intent?
Yes. LOI terms can shape price, structure, exclusivity, deposits, conditions, transition support, and closing timing.
What should a buyer review before signing?
A buyer should review corporate records, contracts, leases, employees, licences, assets, liabilities, financing conditions, tax advice, and transition obligations.

Do I need accountant advice too?
Usually, yes. Business purchases and sales often involve tax, HST, payroll, allocation, valuation, and planning issues that should be coordinated with accounting advice.
Can contracts and leases be transferred?
Some can, but many require consent from landlords, suppliers, franchisors, customers, or other third parties before closing.
What should I send at the beginning?
Send the letter of intent, draft agreement, business details, asset list, lease or contract documents, financing notes, accountant comments, and target closing date.
