Episode Synopsis

Join our Business Law team as we look at the ins and outs of buying or selling a business in 2022. Frequent and sometimes long lockdowns in Victoria have led to significant financial distress in the business community, which has also led to businesses being up for sale.
But what are the risk of buying a distressed business and how do you know whether the distress was COVID-related or not? Do you need to avoid the ‘bargain’? How do you determine the true value of a business with the ongoing pandemic?
This webinar, chaired by Julie Maxfield, will look at all steps involved in the buy-sell process. From the seller’s side, how do you prepare for sale and what disclosures are required, and for the buyer how do you know what you are buying.
Our panel will help you to understand everything you need to know about buying or selling a business in 2022.
