What formalities for the transfer of a business?

Gouache Avocats, a firm serving retailers and merchants, drafts and negotiates deeds of sale of business assets.

The contract for the transfer of business assets, under private signature, is governed by the law of 17 March 1909, codified in the Commercial Code. It includes mandatory information (origin of ownership of the land, status of liens and pledge, turnover and results of the last 3 years, statement of the lease).

The seller is bound by the following obligations: obligation to issue, eviction guarantee, guarantee of hidden defects, endorsement and communication of the seller’s accounts, in addition to any conventional guarantees that the drafter of the deed may arrange.

The sale price of the business is sequestered during the opposition period of the creditors of the seller and until the purge of each of the oppositions formed. The deed of sale then gives rise to advertisements, which make the creditors’ opposition period run.
