If you are buying or selling a business, it is important to identify what costs will be associated with the final sale price. This is because certain costs such as fees, licenses and council rates may be payable at the time of settlement. In turn, this may increase or decrease the final settlement amount for both parties.

To assist you, LegalVision has created this free Settlement Adjustment Calculator. Use it in the week prior to the agreed completion date to help you identify the final amounts to be paid by the buyer or seller.

This may include such expenses as:
+ stock;
+ rent and outgoings
+ license fees;
+ council rates;
+ existing contracts;
+ employee entitlements
+ prepayments; and
+ water rates.

Download this spreadsheet and enter your anticipated costs to calculate the amount to be paid on settlement completion.

If you need any assistance with your selling your business, LegalVision’s experienced commercial lawyers can assist. Just call 1300 544 755.
