After the sale or transfer of a business has been completed and the buyer has paid the price, the work is not yet over. In most cases, the transferor still has some tasks to complete:
The Transition Period after the Transfer of the Business
During this period, the transferor of the business will have to explain and, in some cases, justify their decision to employees, managers, customers, suppliers, and bankers. In some cases, the transferee of the company may ask the transferor to settle some issues, such as disputes, ongoing commercial negotiations, or contract renewals.
Monitoring Guarantees
If the buyer invokes the liabilities guarantee, the seller of an SME should defend their interests as best as they can with their advisors.
Monitoring the Earn-Out Clause
If the sale price includes an earn-out clause based on future achievements, the seller must defend their interests.
Asset Management
Once the price has been paid, the money must now be managed. Actoria Conseil is at your disposal to optimize this phase and provide you with all the necessary expertise.
Resumption of Another Activity
The loss of the status of a company director is often difficult to bear for the selling company director who has devoted their entire life to their company. It is essential to prepare for this new situation with new projects.
