When buying or selling a business, there are many issues to be considered and dealt with, such as: determining the value or price of the business; what assets are to be included; how to deal with employees, etc.

Where the business is a liquor licensed business
that sells and supplies liquor (such as a hotel, bar, liquor store or restaurant, or liquor wholesaler) the liquor licence is a critical and essential component.

Therefore, it is crucial to get it right.
Lux Legal can help you navigate the process to
ensure your interests, and the licence, are
protected. We can assist by:

  • Advising on the buying or selling process and key issues to consider.
  • Preparing a sale agreement, or review a proposed document.
  • Applying for transfer of the licence.
