Business lawyers — Little Mountain

Little Mountain and Caloundra West business lawyers

Little Mountain and the Caloundra West industrial pocket are where the Coast's trade, transport and light manufacturing businesses sit. Those deals look nothing like a cafe sale.

An industrial business sale usually involves a warehouse or yard lease, significant plant, several employees with accrued entitlements, contracts with commercial customers, and a PPSR register full of registrations that need releasing at settlement.

Buyers should be looking at whether the customer contracts transfer, whether key staff will stay, what condition the plant is in and what the make-good obligation on the shed will cost at the end of the term.

We run the contract, the searches, the lease assignment and the settlement mechanics, and we give you a fixed fee before we start.

What we watch for in Little Mountain business deals

Industrial leases and make-good

Racking, hardstand and yard modifications can create a substantial make-good liability. Confirm what the outgoing tenant agreed to before you inherit it.

Plant, equipment and PPSR

Financed forklifts, vehicles and machinery need payout figures and releases timed to settlement, not chased afterwards.

Customer contracts and assignment

Commercial supply agreements often need the customer's consent to assign. Missing that can hand a buyer a business without its main revenue.

Employees and entitlements

Long-serving staff carry real leave balances. Who pays them, and how they are adjusted at settlement, must be written into the contract.

Little Mountain business law FAQs

What searches do you run on a business purchase?

PPSR against the seller and the equipment, ASIC and company searches, land and lease checks on the premises, licence and permit verification, and court and insolvency checks where the deal size warrants it.

Is GST payable on a business sale?

Often not — many sales qualify as a going concern and are GST-free, but only if the contract is drafted correctly and both parties are registered. Getting that wrong is an expensive mistake.

Can you help before I go to market?

Yes. Sellers who assemble the lease, financials, employee data and equipment list up front settle faster and defend their price better.
