BUSINESS PRE-SALE CHECK

Selling a business is a major milestone — and preparation is key. The Thrings’ Pre-Sale Legal Check helps you get ahead of issues that could delay or derail a deal. We identify risks and help protect your business’s value.

Your review will be delivered by a dedicated team of specialist lawyers who understand the challenges businesses face. We don’t just point out problems – we provide solutions, prioritise issues and help you implement change. Our goal is simple: to give you the confidence that your business is ready for sale.

THE BENEFITS OF A PRE-SALE CHECK

Buyers and investors will carry out detailed due diligence. If your business is not legally “sale-ready,” you risk:

• Reduced valuation – legal risks can cut into your sale price.
• Delays and renegotiations – unresolved issues slow down the process and weaken your position.
• Failed deals – buyers may walk away entirely if risks seem too great.

Being able to present clear, comprehensive documentation reassures buyers and helps you secure the strongest possible terms.

WHAT THE REVIEW INCLUDES

The Thrings Business Pre-Sale Legal Check mirrors a typical due diligence questionnaire, helping you fix issues before they become deal-breakers. We review key areas like corporate structure, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts and supplier agreements, employment contracts, property, finance, disputes, IP, data protection, and regulatory compliance.

HOW THE REVIEW WORKS

1. Initial chat - we learn about your business and your plans for sale.
2. Tailored legal review – our specialist team conducts a structured review, flagging potential risks and opportunities.
3. Clear recommendations – we provide a written report with recommendations to improve readiness and protect value.
4. Support with implementation – if you’d like our help to implement the recommendations, we’ll work with you at a pace that suits you and your business.

We offer this service on a fixed-fee basis, with scope and timescales agreed at the outset.
