When Buying or Selling a Business there are many potential issues that you need to be aware of.


Things such as:
  • Stamp Duty (or Transfer Duty)
  • Disclosure documentation
  • License transfers or application
  • Sale or acquisition costs
  • Government Assistance and Resources
Did you know that Stamp Duty applies differently from State to State? In some states there is no Stamp Duty applicable on business purchases, and in other states you may pay stamp duty on the business acquisition cost, and also on the value of the stock. Where stamp duty does apply – the rate varies from state to state. You can check the rate that applies to your state on these stamp duty calculation websites:
